V-dog Vegan Kibble Dry Dog Food (24 LB) - Plant-Based Protein with Taurine for Sensitive Stomach & Skin | Adult Dog Vegetarian Superfood | Made in USA | Perfect for Dogs with Allergies or Digestive Issues

I have 2 dogs. One is a 14 year old Siberian Husky and the other is a 7 year old Red Tick Hound mix. For years they have both been eating a popular commercial brand of dog food. I've always made it a point to periodically check the ingredients label and I do try to keep up with the latest "OMG's" in pet food because let's face it, it isn't the cleanest food industry out there.The nastiness of the commercial industry and the origin of a lot of commercial dog food ingredients is the reason why we decided to make the switch over to VDog.One of the first things that I noticed about the food when I opened the bag was the smell. It's not a bad smell at all but it's definitely not the same as the old food that they were eating. It doesn't smell like fake meat flavoring, it of course has a very veggie smell to it. To me it's like a cross between sweet potato and peas which once you read the ingredient list, it makes sense. The second thing is that the bag is recyclable. Third is that the kibble is green which took me a bit to get used to seeing.They have now been on this dog food for over 2 months. I do supplement the Red Tick Hound with cooked chicken breast once or twice a week, but the Husky is strictly VDog because after we made the switch, whenever she is given the chicken breast she ends up with an upset stomach and things get smelly and ugly really quick so she is technically a vegan dog now.Both dogs love this food and I don't have to bribe either one of them to eat it with a gravy over the top like I used to have to do with their old food. Now that I think back, me having to do that should have been a red flag for me.I wanted to provide them with a better quality food to keep them both healthier and around for as long as possible. I never dreamed that the Husky would show the improvements that she has. Older dogs have a tendency to start having hip problems and unfortunately that is one of her problems. She did a lot of laying around with very little attempts at running and playing until the past couple of weeks. Recently I have been having to try and wind her down again like I did years ago. Her mood has obviously improved too, she looks and acts a lot happier, which is a very positive change that I'm really glad to see.The Red Tick Hound has shown some changes too. His breath oddly enough doesn't smell anymore and his coat is sleek and shiny again. We had noticed that his fur had become wiry and scratchy and with a better quality diet, that changed.Yes, the food price point is higher but you are paying for quality ingredients which in turn will lead to a healthier dog in the long run. I'm very thankful for VDog and will continue to feed it to my dogs and recommend it to others.
