FURRMATE

100% plant-based (or vegan) dog food means zero animal-derived ingredients — no meat, no poultry, no fish, no eggs, no dairy. Every protein, fat, and nutrient comes from plant sources, plus added supplements (e.g. B12, taurine, L-carnitine, certain essential amino acids) to meet all canine nutritional requirements. Vegetarian dog food brands in India or elsewhere might include eggs or dairy, which are animal by-products, so they are not fully vegan. FurrMate’s formulations are fully vegan and designed to meet all stages of dog life (puppy, adult, senior), meaning they are “complete meals” rather than complementary.

Yes, studies show that when formulated correctly, dogs can live healthily on vegan dog food. Dogs are classified as omnivores, meaning their physiology allows them to digest both animal and plant‐based foods. Studies show that over thousands of years, domestic dogs evolved multiple digestive enzymes and metabolic adaptations that help them process starches, grains, and plant proteins, not just meat. FurrMate’s meals are created by vets and nutritionists to ensure complete, balanced nutrition for digestion, immunity, energy, and shiny coats—making us one of the best veg dog food brands in India.

Gradual transition is the key: start with about 25% of the new vegan food and 75% of the old diet for 2–3 days, then increase the new food gradually over ~7-10 days. Monitor stool consistency, energy levels, appetite, skin & coat. If there are signs of digestive upset, slow the transition or mix in wet + dry forms. Always check with your vet, especially for puppies, pregnant/lactating mothers, or dogs with chronic conditions.

Not in properly formulated diets. FurrMate uses plant proteins and fortified vitamins/minerals to ensure your dog gets everything they need. Our recipes are a healthier alternative to home-cooked vegetarian meals for dogs because they’re scientifically balanced to meet AAFCO nutritional guidelines.

FurrMate’s recipes are grain-free, vet-approved, and cruelty-free. Our products include dry vegan dog food India, wet plant-based dog food India, and veg treats for dogs, all air-dried or gently cooked to preserve nutrition and taste.

Start with 25% new food and 75% old food for 2–3 days, then increase the ratio gradually over 7–10 days. This method is commonly used by Indian pet parents switching from meat-based to veg dog food without chicken and meat.

Not necessarily. Premium imported meat-based dog foods often carry high costs in India because of import duties, meat sourcing, storage, and distribution. With FurrMate, our affordable vegan dog food India range is formulated locally (or sourced/shipped efficiently) with high-quality plant proteins and fortified nutrients. While premium plant-based pet foods globally may cost more, our value packs help spread the cost and deliver best veg dog food in India without compromise. Over time, many Indian pet owners find the per-meal cost of vegan food comparable—or even lower—when factoring in health benefits and reduced veterinary bills for allergies or digestive issues.
