Great post Shelley! Ms. Cleo is gorgeous. So serendipitous that you adopted a vegan dog She is clearly thriving on her diet. You’ve inspired me to add more sweet potato to my dog’s vegan diet. Sorry you received all that hate mail, I don’t understand why people feel the need to send hate mail ever. Great post!

I just found you through Amanda’s blog. Cleo is so gorgeous! I’m so glad that you found a diet that worked for her. One of my dogs had inhalant allergies, so it’s been harder to fight, but we’ve found things that have worked a lot for her, too.

That’s too bad that you got so much hate mail. People can be so reactive.

Jeri – I am so sorry I didn’t respond to you earlier. Yes! You can substitute… we have given cleo a good variety of all the different potatoes available. Makes no difference, just check on caloric difference. Also, she loves quinoa and we have made that substitution for some of the rice. But it is very high in protein, so we do less beans if we are adding quinoa. Eventually, the instinct takes over and you know what your dog likes and needs. As for beans, we haven’t tried many varieties… kidney and lentil. But that’s about it. I’m sure many of the beans are good substitutes, though. So happy to hear about Shadow… very lucky dog to have such an amazing family!

I tend to believe that something is better than nothing. If your pup eats mainly vegan food, with one meal a day kibble… that is still better than how most of the dogs in the world eat… Good job!!

There is a company that makes Mr. Barky's that makes a great vegan kibble, canned food and treats. Ms Cleo can't eat some of the products because of her other allergies. But she LOVES the treats!

Thanks for posting! We too just adopted and are looking into veganizing our dog’s diet.
Lovely blog!

I’ve been pressing a vegan/raw diet for my dog on my parents. I give her vegan food all the time- she loves squash, carrots, kale, and fruit!
I hope she will be able to be off her nasty kibbles 100% some day!
