Here is another recipe that Ginger devoured instantly! She is really loving her new vegan diet. She gets SO excited every time I prepare her food, which is a huge change from when I'd put kibble in her bowl. Here are some updates in changes we've noticed since Ginger's switch to becoming vegan: her breath is much fresher and she has had significant improvement in digestion. (Before becoming vegan, she would vomit or have diarrhea at least once a week. Since becoming vegan she has not done either of those things!) Also, it is much easier for her to go #2, and she goes much more frequently. So far, the vegan diet seems to be working amazingly well for Ginger! We are thrilled with the results!

Thank you so much for writing about this. I have been wanting to switch my two doggies over to a vegan diet but I have been worried about the cost. Have you found this to be affordable?
Unfortunately it got to be a little too expensive. I have been feeding my pup V-Dog (dog kibble) that I ordered online and it is not expensive at all! She absolutely LOVES it. I still feed her complete human meals sometimes, and usually add a few items to her kibble and she can't get enough.
Hello! I'm starting to cook for my dog and found this website in Pinterest. What is the guidelines for he servings? How
Many pounds is the dog your are basing it on so I can calculate for mine.
I was wondering about the nutrition aspect for dogs. It looks wonderful and all, but is it giving the dog the nutrition that he/she require? I feed my dog V-Dog and supplement it with veggies all the time and she loves it, but I was just wondering if the above meal (which I know she will just scarf up!) gives her what she needs. Thanks!
I'm definitely not a dog nutrition expert! I feed my dog V-Dog for the most part and just add in meals like this every now and then 🙂 Recently I've been creating lots of "kibble toppers" for her to add on top of her kibble and she just LOVES them. Under the 'dog recipes' link on my site 🙂 They are the most recent posts.
Thanks for your comment, Susan!!!
I think the peas need to be smashed or they will not be digested. I smash up the beans too
