A handful of brands are beginning to explore the creation of plant-based food for adult dogs, including European pet food brand Edgard & Cooper. The brand's new pair of plant-focused formulas are free from animal meats and they are full of veggies, fruits, herbs and pulses to meet a dog's nutritional needs.
The Crispy Carrot & Courgette and Beetroot & Pumpkin formulas are useful for providing all 10 essential amino acids with simple yet nutritious ingredients like potato, rice and peas. In all, both of the recipes feature 20% fresh vegetables, which are gently cooked to boost nutrient availability.
In comparison to the regular pet food formulas from the brand, these ones emit 43% less CO2, and these options help pet parents make a simple swap to reduce their pet's carbon footprint.
