It was hard not second guess the dog food we've been serving Ruby the past five years after diving deeper into a vegan lifestyle. Conventional pet food is pretty much junk food for our animals. Most is cheap and easy, but I want to make sure even my four-legged family member can be as healthy as possible. I know that sentiment is shared among all animal caregivers. Despite feeding her a "natural" kibble that included blueberries and whole grains, it contained who knows what kind of chicken parts and stunk like bad fish.
A month ago we transitioned her meals to Nature's Recipe vegetarian dog food. Ruby is notorious for having a super sensitive stomach, so we added 1/4 new food to each meal and gradually increased after a few days. Two weeks later she was enjoying full bowls of her new grub. Nature's Recipe smells so much better too!
Now don't fret. Ruby isn't deprived of her carnivore ways. She gets slices of turkey, rawhide bones, chicken flavored toothpaste and other "treats" that make dogs happy. Ruby also enjoys green beans in her breakfast as a bonus
She received glowing reviews from her vet at her annual exam last week. Way to go Ruby Dog.
