Vegetarian dog food recipes are a safe and healthy alternative to those that are meat-based.

Before preparing these recipes, please review our Dog Organic Treat Choices and Vegetarian Diet for Dogs pages along with the general feeding guidelines.

Vegetarian dog food recipes used to make treats combined with all other treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s total diet.

Always consult with your holistic veterinarian before feeding your dog any new recipe.
