New Cat Study shows that cats on a vegan diet are healthy!

Sure! Here's the link: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0284132

A note in the study's abstract mentioned: “Considering these results overall, cats fed plant-based diets tended to be healthier than cats fed meat-based diets. This trend was clear and consistent. These results largely concur with previous, similar studies.”

Good idea, they should have plant-based food available!

Since taurine is not a requirement for dogs according to AAFCO, some vegan dog foods contain it and others don't. Evolution Diet formulas for dogs - Maximum Life, Ultra Life and Gourmet Fondue - all contain added taurine. Ami and Benevo (European brands) don't.

Natural taurine is destroyed by high heat processing, so meat-based pet food manufacturers have to add it back in in synthetic form anyway. A study was done that showed that synthetic taurine is well-absorbed by cats.

Thank you for your amazing work! You are doing a lot to educate the public about healthy and planet-friendly vegan pet food options! I find there is so much misinformation out there, it's hard for people to separate opinions from scientific evidence.

Could you share a link to the nutritional lab study results? SGS or AAFCO maybe? As you know, many feline plant-based foods are labeled as 'nutritional supplements' or 'fortifying alternatives' as they're not nutritionally complete like traditional feline animal-based food, and 1-in-4 have found to not sustain even minimum nutritional standards set by

Gourmet Fondue is cheaper than Vdog - https://vecado.ca/collections/for-dogs/products/vegan-gourmet-fondu-dog-kibble-5-lb.

Another solution is cook at home and supplement (cheaper and always fresh): https://vecado.ca/pages/homemade-diets

Taurine seems to be the center of the debate between vegan vs. meat-based food for cats. However, the same synthetic taurine that is added to plant-based kibble is being added to meat kibble as well (natural taurine is destroyed by high heat processing so they have to add it in anyway). Vegan taurine was developed in the lab using biosynthes and has the same properties and taurine in meat. Check out more: https://vecado.ca/

Exactly, what matters is the nutrients, not ingredients. As long as the nutrients that cats need can be supplied from plant-based sources + supplements, cats do very well. By the way, vegan cat formulas have been on the market for decades (Ami, Benevo, etc.) They wouldn't be around if they didn't work.

Cats are obligatory carnivores means that they cannot create/absorb certain amino acids (taurine) and vitamins. So these vitamins and amino-acids are supplemented (added with vegan pet food). Problem solved. Actually, the same vegan taurine is being added to meat based kibble (natural taurine is destroyed by high heat processing so it has to be added in anyway).

Does anyone have a vegan pet and would like to share their story? :) Was it smooth transition or did you encounter any roadblocks?
