digestibility no good doesn't soften easy took an hour š
We had this as a 1kg free trial bag senior kibble and our older GSD very much approved of it and so did our younger dogs.They had several hand fulls in their treat dispensers and wanted more.So I purchased a 2kg as they really surprised me how much they liked it .As they are 41kgsI cannot sadly afford to buy this in bigger volumes as much as they like itIt isn't cost effective for me so it's only somthing I can use as a treat for them .Unless the price comes down to around Ā£7-8 I can't afford to pay Ā£13.99 for a 2kg bag as treats.It smells nice though and considering no meat they loved it .The only other gripe besides the price is the packaging reminds me of saxa salt the colouring of it and logo isn't great from a marketing perspective it could do with looking more like a dog food bag not a big bag of salt on a shop shelf in the salt isle šUPDATESo I decided to add water to this and give it to my GSD pre soaked with his meat topper and to my disappointment it DOES NOT SOAK WELL ,this is potentially dangerous to breeds prone to Bloat gastric dialation like shepherds and other deep chested breeds as it DOES NOT BREAK DOWN EASILY when soaked, resulting in it festering un digested in the dogs gutt longer than it should.I like a kibble that softens easily in the gutt helping the digestibility process not prolonging it as I will not walk my dogs for at least 3 hours after a meal incase they strain them selves with a full gutt while exercising as many a victim of police dogs have met a untimely end due to Bloat & being called out on duty after not long eating their meal in their kennel .Or during a toilet break .I just feel that I had to mention this if you looking at this review should be aware of this if you have a breed prone to Bloat this kibble as much as my dogs like it, when in soak it takes a very long time before I can feed it to them safely.I only tried this as was offered free to review and bought a second 2 kg bag as my boy liked it in his treat dispenser but now I no it is very difficult to soften as a main meal I will not be a repeat customer I'm afraid.Burns dry dog foods are very palatable though not high in meat but non the less very good digestibility for bloat prone breeds of dog as it softens super quick .I add a meat topper to boost the low meat content plus cook fresh white fish several times a week as well.I feel this kibble is ok for a dog that is a cruncher or a small breed not prone to Bloat but too risky as it took around 1 hour softening it up with a lot of tepid water to feed my German shepherd. šš©I do not now reccomend this kibble for deep chested breeds .I can't imagine they would make the kibble more easily digestible but if they did I would continue to buy 2 kg bags as the free 1 kg bag lasted fairy well in the treat ball for fun .Not just this brand but several others on here selling vegan dog food are exploiting vegan / vegetarian humans love of their pets and are being greedy with the pricing of the low volumes in a bag for high prices their asking.I am a vegetarian myself not a vegan butI do like others said feel sad feeding dead animals to my dogs but I also remind myself dogs are k9s and regardless of what vegans veggies say they do need a certain amount of meat that's the nature' of their very being born from defendants of wolves they have lived thousands of years eating meat and veggies to survive .Just look at their teeth says it all .I can't feed raw like many do as it sickens me and I insist on cooking fish chicken and a few times a month mince beef with a struggle but I'm not happy about but I do it as they need it and boy do they clean their dishes like no other commercial food could have the same result they love cooked mince šBut getting back on topic I like the idea of veggie kibbles to balance out the meat days and veggie only days but at the moment I've not found a kibble on the market that offers great value for those with large breeds and the kibble being easily digestible so for now I will stay as I am with burns kibble and Autraky I've been feeding as they soften and chicken and fish based which doesn't upset their tumms quite a balancing act of being good for the dogs tumms and our pockets and ethical all at the same time .I would love to hear back from the seller if they ever did modify the density of the kibble so it breaks down easier but till then I'm afraid I stand by what I've said and it's unsuitable for deep chested breeds.

My dogs love it
This vegan dog food obviously tastes good as even my very fussy dog will eat it. Nice to have peace of mind that it is formal with everything they need

Dogs love it
My 14 year old dog loves this. He's been plant based, since 8 (after getting cancer). This is by far the best plant based dog food he's had. Very active dog!

Vegan š bickies - very nicey just a little bit pricey
Received order on 30th September and the packet has a best before date of 22nd November so not a great start. That being said I don't think it will stay around long as both pooches seem to like it and it makes a change from meat based biscuits. On opening the 1kg bag there was a definite plant smell (can't quite put my finger on what it is though) which made a change from the normal meaty one.My dogs haven't tried anything vegan before so I have been introducing the biscuit gradually and now they are up to a small bowl for breakfast and have chomped it down. One thing I did notice was that the biscuits are quite hard which I thought was unusual for something that is billed towards senior dogs. Also they have been drinking more water than usual but this might just be a coincidence.I like the fact that the biscuits are made in the UK and they were in a tough paper bag as opposed to plastic but felt that they were a little bit expensive for a 1kg bag.The star ratings on this product are quite unusual - flavour, given this a 4 as pleasant smell, canāt personally comment on taste but dogs seemed to like it; sturdiness, wasnāt sure whether they meant the biscuit or the bag, a 3 value for money, another 3 as felt quite expensive for a small bag.Hope this helps ......

We love this food!
This dog food is just lovely. It smells lovely, looks so meaty despite being vegan and my dog loves it! If we had the money I would definitely buy it for every feedā¦. To be honest I want to eat itā¦. It smells that good! The 1kg bag is very small but then it is as they say what it says on the tin/packet.
