Not recommended
Evolution diets
Reason: 'Denial' response to study demonstrating nutritional inadequacies (Vegetarian Feline Diets, Appendix II).
Nature's Recipe Allergy (Vegan)
Reason: The vitamin A is from retinol and the vitamin D3 is from lanolin. These are not vegan sources and this food is therefore NOT vegan. (http://www.vegandognutritionassociation.com/vegan_dog_foods.html)
Wysong Vegan Dog
Reason: This product is intended to supplement meat diets and is not balanced and complete, nor is it vegan as the taurine is apparently derived from bull testicles.
