Vegetarian dog food
is actually a good idea. The dog is best able to convert animal proteins into body substance. And the highest quality protein is provided by milk proteins and whole eggs. But the body can also utilize plant proteins very well . They are light and easy to digest. But the disadvantages lie elsewhere . Find out here what you need to look out for in vegetarian dog food!
What do you need to look out for in vegetarian dog food?
“The dog is a wolf and he almost only needs meat!” – this is the new trend that few are resisting. If you look at dog feeding scientifically, you can derive the correct composition of the food from the following facts:
1. the biological value determines the usability of the feed
The conversion of animal or plant proteins depends on the number of amino acids present. The lower it is, the worse the protein can be converted into body substance. This is why lean beef, for example, is not the best dietary suggestion, although many people think so.
- Cereals are unsuitable not because of the starch, but because of the high gluten content
Even vets and nutrition experts constantly repeat that dogs can process grain well, because the dog is not a wolf. Starch is a worthless filler and would not be a problem for him. That’s true, but it’s not about them. Today’s modern grain has 45% more gluten than 50 years ago and has been specially bred for the industrial baking process . And this causes digestive disorders and allergies.
- Nutritional and technological additives with high allergy potential

When is vegetarian dog food really valuable?
The general basic recipe for a healthy diet:
- High-quality protein meat and especially also quark, yogurt, cheese,
- healthy carbohydrates – potatoes, vegetables, buckwheat (no cereals), rice (no gluten)
- Unsaturated fatty acids, especially omega 3 fatty acids from Rapeseed oil, linseed oil
- Vitamins, minerals, trace elements of natural origin
Converted to vegetarian dog food is the replacement of meat with cottage cheese, quark and whole egg. Animal protein should always have the highest proportion. The important reason is its amino acid pattern. Cottage cheese, quark and whole egg contain all amino acids and increase the usability of plant proteins. Their spectrum of amino acids is smaller and many essential amino acids are not present. The best vegetable proteins are found in sweet lupins, peas and buckwheat. They are easily digestible and should be second or third on the list of ingredients in a good vegetarian dog food .
If you cannot find this food composition, check if it is not quickly homemade.
