"I almost didn't get another dog because of the guilt I felt about the farm animals suffering to feed pets. And then there’s the growing-anxiety, will he thrive on a vegan diet? And vegan food for young dogs is almost non-existent, very hard to find, and it had to be local and non-gmo. The wonderful people at Evolution Diet helped me see the TWO options for growth in dry food and a canned food as well. Vince loves the Maximum Life and the Evolution canned food. And he's gained 7lbs this month, right on track! I’m thrilled and he's going to be the vegan poster dog in my obedience club."

"I decided to do some research and found out that there were many dogs thriving on a plant-based diet. I enquired about a number of plant-based brands before deciding to go with the offerings from Evolution. Aura started eating the Gourmet Fondue line from Evolution and now eats their Max Life line. She loved the first one and now loves the second one. She is doing great from what we can see and our vet seconds our observation. Blood tests etc. all point to a very healthy dog. Given that she eats between 275 to 300 lbs of this dry plant-based kibble a year plus other veggies and fruits like broccoli, carrots, apples, rutabaga, etc. we figure that over her anticipated lifespan of 7-10 more years that she will have not consumed anywhere from 2000 to 3000 lbs of meat and meat by-products."

–Pierre P.

"For well over a year now, I’ve been feeding Evolution Diet kibble, as well as a home-cooked diet consisting mainly of well-mashed chickpeas, some green and orange vegetables, smaller amounts of whole grains and fats. Though I don’t believe that a well-balanced plant-based diet offers by default superior health outcomes compared to a well-balanced meat-based diet, one of my dogs’ regular gastro-intestinal upsets has improved to the point of near non-existence since eating an all-plant-based diet. The same is true for another dog’s previous chronic ear infections."

"Marley is my 8 year old three-legged boxer. When he was 7 he developed a large tumour in his front paw which led to the amputation. He was always fed on raw Mountain Dog Food, however around 4 months post surgery he started having digestional problems, and was losing weight very rapidly. Multiple trips to the vet and thousands of dollars later they discovered that he has a severe vitamin B12 deficiency. I started cooking his dog food, a recipe that included mainly porc, potatoes and supplements. This seemed to work well for the time being, however just a few months ago it started acting up again. I tried feeding him porc exclusively, which showed no improvement, and then just potatoes, to see if he was intolerant to the food. Potatoes seemed to calm his stomach, and then I tried pure rice for a few days which really did the trick. I asked my vet if i should change recipes, however she encouraged me to slowly reintroduce his old diet back into his system. Within 2 days he was back to and upset stomach, which is what prompted me to try vegan food. I found this website and thought that I had nothing to lose. I received my bag, and within 2 days of feeding the Maximum Life Evolution food his stomach was completely fine. I’m on my third 40 lbs bag and everything is going perfectly! :) love love love this food!!!"

"I was searching the internet for vegan dog food available in Canada and i found Evolution Diet. I immediately make a purchase of the taster pack, which my dog went crazy of it all. My pomeranian is usually quite picky on dry food, we use Evolution Diet Gourmet fondue and she loves it. When she don't feel like having dry food we just mix it with nutritional yeast and hot water. She is crazy about the cranberries and the sweet potatoes but her ultimate feast is the canned Evolution Fortified food. Evolution Diet provides exceptional customer service, i often receive messages from them about discount and feedback. Me and my wife turned Vegan this year for ethic reasons and we have discovered that we are in better shape than we have ever been in our entire life. Then we realized what our dog was really eating in her pet shop food, we had to put a stop to it. Our dog is more playful, she burst with energy, she smells and look better!"

–Eric F.

"Gérard is our eight year-old furry feline who has been vegan for seven years. We began having trouble accessing his previous vegan food due to low supply in our area, so I was beyond excited to find the Evolution Diet website with many other vegan cat foods available. After ordering the sample pack a few months ago, Gérard immediately LOVED the Evolution food and has been happily thriving on this diet ever since!"

–Sharon N.

"I bought the sample pack out of curiosity, after reading tons about cat nutrition, and because I love all animals. My cat DOVE into the kibble and just loved it. I am still slowly weaning him off his meat wet, but it's about a can a month, as he loves the gourmet evolution wet (about half a cup or more) mixed with a table spoon of his old cat food (I section and freeze it, so a can lasts for a month) and I mix it all up with some water, which is good for preventing/dissolving crystals, which cats are prone to. His PH is 6.5 (I get it tested regularly. I get a sample and take it in so he doesn't have the stress of going to the vet). His weight is healthy. There are zero crystals in his urine. He still prefers his kibble before his meat mixture, and eventually, he may eat completely vegan, if his health remains intact, as it is now. I"m just slowly decreasing the amount of meat I add. Going to a tea spoon next month. Also, his fur literally thickened and got more shiny when he started evolution. I think it's just the good nutrition and taurine they put in it. His poos are healthy too. Delivery was efficient and on time, and they always include some nutritional yeast which is nice... I sometimes sprinkle a little on wet (he loves it). Also, I give him the covered cranberries for treats (good for PH/preventing crystals) and/or one or two on top of his kibble (and he loves those too). All around a really good experience! I would suggest weaning your cat slowly off of whatever food they are on for better success, and definitely add water to help them get more hydration! I figure even cutting his meat consumption way back is better than nothing and the goal is to not buy dead animals at all one day. Of course I'm fully vegan and fully healthy. I run half marathons etc... But so far kitty is even healthier with this food added and now his primary food, so I do intend to continue on this regime."

"My beautiful dog Lulu will be 13 years old in a few months. She is full of life and energy. People who meet her think she's a young dog and are usually surprised to learn how old she is. I credit her diet which is primarily plant-based. She is trim and active and is living a happy life. She loves her Gourmet Maximum Life kibble. I have to also talk about the delivery service, as it is amazing. My last delivery I emailed to say I was out for part of the day, and I got a reply straight away asking where the delivery could be left if I wasn't home. Plus, I got a text message to confirm. That is great service and it makes it a lot easier to be a loyal customer."

–Josiane L.

"After going vegan last July, I decided to rescue a dog and so Alice arrived to live with me in November. Her rescue organization informed me that she had a 'sensitive stomach' and needed a specific brand of food from a chain pet store. For moral and ethical reasons, I couldn't fathom supporting the slaughter of animals to feed my companion (or for any reason). And so began my research into feeding my companion a vegan diet. This led me to Evolution Diet, and I purchased Evolution max life food. Alice LOVES her new plant-based food and her stomach issues (diarrhea) have disappeared after only 6 weeks on the new diet. The customer service is great... I had chosen a shipping method to have the food arrive faster and they called to let me know that due to me ordering on a Friday, it would not make a difference between the regular shipping option and the expedited so they refunded me the difference (many other companies would not have bothered to do this so my first impression of this company was a good one!). I just received my second order of a 20lb bag which should last 6 months or so. It's great to have it come right to my door!"

–L.K.

"My husband and I have been vegan for a few years, and we often talked about vegan cat food, but didn’t have enough health information, nor could we find a place online that had decent S&H prices and was a Canadian supplier. Eventually, we came across the Evolution Diet site, the prices were in our range, and they had some great nutritional info. After doing a bit more research of my own, we decided to try out the Evolution Diet with our three cats. We took a couple of weeks to transition them to the new food and haven’t looked back; it’s been a huge blessing. We used to feed them three small meals a day, and they always seemed like they were starving, but if I gave them more, they would gain weight. With the new food, I feed them twice a day, and sometimes they even leave some kibble in their bowls. One of my cats, on the old food (which was a high-quality, vet brand), would eat so fast and every couple of days he would throw up, so before the switch, I was feeding him by hand to slow him down. On the new food, he’s gotten sick maybe two or three times in six months (and he eats on his own). I would also say all of their coats are nicer, and they get along better. They all had their annual physicals in April and May, and they all came away with a clean bill of health."

"I HAVE FED MY FERRETS EVOLUTION DIET FOOD OVER 15 YEARS AND THEY HAVE LIVED WAY HEALTHIER AND LONGER THAN ON REGULAR COMMERCIAL FERRET FOODS!

KATHY D.

"My 9-month-old cat has been eating Evolution for most of his life now; I transitioned him shortly after I adopted him. He’s doing extremely well; he eats Evolution every day and loves it. His coat is glossy and he has crazy kitten energy.

I very recently rescued an adult cat, and I’m slowly transitioning her from cat food to this. (When I first brought her home, she wouldn’t eat for two days and was extremely skinny.) I also was taking care of a friend’s cat for a week, and when I saw she wasn’t eating her own food, I brought a baggie of the Evolution kibble, which she was interested in, and then ate.

Most of all, I want my cats to eat this food because it’s healthier for them; it doesn’t contain the waste animals, beaks, hair, and ear tags that all pet foods (even premium) can contain–and is nutritionally complete, with the protein and amino acids they need. As a plus, it’s a tasty food they like; when water is added–which it should be, to prevent dehydration–it’s economical, too.

It’s a great deal all around!"

–Beth S.

"My pets (2 Dog and 2 Cats) have been on Evolution Diet for 8 years. Both my dogs and my cats love the food and have been on it since they were 4 months old. My younger cat was very sick when I brought her home and I was nervous about putting her on a vegei diet until she was well. My Vet uses this product and recommended that I switch right away because it’s such a high quality food. Once I put her on Evolution she had a speedy recovery. Everyone that has had contact with my pets have made comments on how beautiful their fur is."

–Elizabeth Diamond

"Sometimes I think my dog eats the best food in the house. My dog is over 10 years old, she acts like she’s half her age and her coat is beautiful and glossy. She has eaten this dog food for almost all her life and I attribute this dog food to taking such good care of her. For the price, you get a lot – it actually works out to be cheaper than any other vegetarian dog food on the market that I’ve found. It’s just the best dog food. Every dog deserves to feel goodBon Apetit, doggie!"

–Jason

"All 7 of my rescued poodles LOVE this food. One of them has allergies to pretty much everything, but not this food. And all of them are picky eaters, but they all devour their Evolution Pet Food! I have fed this to puppies under a year old all the way up to my oldest who I assume is around 15 years or so. I also fostered a kitten for a few months and she loved the cat food. I highly recommend!"

–Malila R.

"Beau, my kitty, loves your food and he is healthy and happy! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your product. Every time the Vet tries to sell me food when I take him in for his yearly check up she can’t believe he’s 15 and looks so good. I smile and say thank you and no I’ll feed him myself.

My other cat lived to about 20 years old on Evolution Pet Food. I wouldn’t feed my 'furry kids' anything else!! I’m vegetarian too and it only helps the earth to keep it that way – the veggie way."

–Nancy C.

"When I say Evolution Pet Food saved my cat’s life, I mean it in the literal sense!

Molly is now 5 years old. She was born with a condition known as Eosinophilic Linear Granuloma and is allergic to animal protein. The prognosis on this condition is 'poor'. Because she developed lumps on her body she was biopsied twice, always with the same result…linear granuloma. In the past four years she has been on every single source protein diet known to the veterinary community as well as on hydrolyzed protein…all have failed to keep the condition from recurring. I should add that she was on LARGE doses of prednisone for most of this time.

Finally, in February of 2004, after she began to develop lip and mucous membrane lesions even though she was receiving 20 mg. of prednisone daily, I said enough is enough…we either go vegetarian or be euthanized.

After some web searching I found Evolution Pet Food. In early March of this year I started her on canned Vegetable Stew and Gourmet Entree, as well as Gourmet Pasta kibble. She took to the food immediately. Within 2 weeks the lip lesions were gone. Within 6 weeks I had her weaned off of prednisone.

Molly has been symptom free for 8 months now and appears to be a healthy cat and appears to thrive on her vegetarian diet. As treats, I sometimes give her baked squash, garbanzo beans or tofu and she loves it all.

The veterinary community has tried to treat this condition by 'controlling' it with steroids and diet. In Molly’s case it didn’t work. I wish there was some way to inform the veterinary community about the success of a nutritionally approved vegetarian diet for animals with this allergic condition. I certainly am doing it with the vets I have dealt with in the past couple of years.

Again, both Molly and I thank you for being a 'life-saver'"

–Betty M.

"I have been a customer for over 14 years and would like to say ‘Thank You’ for developing Evolution Pet Food. I have an 18 yr. old German Shepard and a 19 yr. old Bassett Hound. Having dogs this old could be a real chore, but it is not. My two 'kids' not only look much younger than they are: They also act much younger than they are.

When I take them to the veterinarian, which is only for shots and dental work by the way, he is so impressed. My vet always tells me, 'Whatever you are doing: Keep it up! I have never seen dogs this old look so good and act so much younger than their years!'

When you first told me that dogs and cats can live much longer and healthier on the Evolution Pet Food, I was dubious. That was almost eleven years ago. I have no doubts in my mind whatsoever now. I can hardly believe it myself!

My dogs really act like they are still about six years old and they are both in their late teens. They still run and roll over almost like they did when they were puppies. My wife thinks I have the green thumb when it comes to dogs. I have no doubt that they will both probably live to 20 or more. Thank you again for making this wonderful food. I love my dogs and you are helping me to love them much longer."

–Dave B.

"I am writing to let you know how happy I am with your pet food. My seven year old rottweiler, named Gretta, was extremely overweight and lethargic. She refused to go on walks with me, even if it was just to the mailbox. We tried to exercise her countless times with no success. If we tried to get her playing by throwing a ball, she would just lie down in exhaustion while leaving the ball roll out of the yard. Her coat was oily and yet flaked. If I washed her, her coat would be oily in a week. There was no hint of the personality she had when she was a pup.

After I started feeding Evolution, she immediately started to change! I can not believe the improvements she has made! Over the past several weeks she has lost 20 lb., her coat is not oily, she has a twinkle in her eye and a sparkling new personality! Now she loves to go on walks (way beyond the mailbox!) and loves to play for hours. This is the dog we used to have. She’s the one that jumps off her bed to greet us excitedly when we get home. I knew there was a happy loving dog in her before, but we just couldn’t find that joy. Evolution Pet Food has helped my dog tremendously. Because I have seen such great results in only 8 weeks, I have referred several of my pet owning friends to you. I know that they will have as much success as we have. Thank you again: Your dedication to pets is appreciated more than you know!"

–Heidi B.

"Just a note of sincere thanks for helping Buster, our 13-year-old cocker spaniel– he’s a changed dog! After using Evolution Pet Food for thirty days, his hot spots are ninety-nine percent eliminated.

Having spent years and lots of dollars trying to diagnose the problem, we were almost certain that his diet was the contributing factor. In the past, when we fed him a homemade meal (approved by our veterinarian), we noticed a big improvement in his coat and skin. So my wife and I are extremely happy to learn about Evolution Pet Food, and we have now started Pepe (Buster’s sister) on this food plan.

Thank you for your compassionate concern for the animals and for your research into developing a nutritious diet for our canine friends."

–The Cox family

"My husband and I would like to thank you for rushing out my order of Evolution Diet Cat Health Food. My cats are very happy (as happy as two cats can be) that they don’t have to miss a meal of their Evolution food.

We really appreciate what your company does. We are thankful we have found Evolution Pet Food. Thank you so much for rushing out my last order. It is one more thing that makes us respect your company. I am proud to be your customer."

–Nikki H.

"You may be pleased to know that, of my two cats, the one who needs the Evolution Pet Food Health Cat Food most urgently has accepted it most readily. As I make the transition from the prescription cat food she had been eating, I can tell she is already beginning to “even out” significantly in how she feels overall, her appetite and consumption of food and water, less discomfort moving about, and more regular use of the box. I am very pleased. Thank you for making this food!"

–Taichin M.

"Thank you for caring enough to develop Evolution Pet Food Health Dog Food. My nine year old angel was tired, achy, stiff and depressed. I put her on Evolution and watched her transform day by day. Before long, she was running, jumping, and doing figure eights around the yard. She had not been able to get up on the sofa, but now she can jump up onto the bed! She even gets out toys and plays like a puppy! Everyone who loves animals should know about Evolution Pet Food."

–Vickie R.

"Our cat, Gray Cloud, is extremely happy with his Evolution Diet food and every one of our friends and their pets that we’ve shared about your products are also. I’d like to see your products distributed as openly and widely as possible because there are so many people who are unaware that our pets can live healthy and long vegetarian lives. Thank you for your great products and service."

–Cynthia S.

"I’ve been using this food for my three dogs for probably at least ten years–two rescue collies and one chinook rain. (A mix? From a dog pound.) They all love it. I add some warm water, sometimes enough to make it into a bit of a stew, and some carrots or some other vegetables. It is concentrated and so I use no more than about 2/3 of what I’d otherwise use."

–Roscommon

"My 2 boxers and pit bull mix go crazy for this food!!! They LOVE it!! So happy for a KIND FOOD that they love and is so very good for them!!!! Thanks for this great choice!!"

–Valerie M.

"My dogs have been eating Evolution for about the past 5 years. People always remark about how gorgeous their coats are and ask me what I do, that I must brush them and bathe them all the time. I do neither. People also can’t believe my older dog is 9 because she looks and acts so young. They still love the food after all this time. I usually mix in a little canned, which Evolution also sells. The only thing I wish for that could improve it would be for it to be organic."

–Rob

"I have 2 Chihuahuas – The first one I got as a puppy 9 years ago and the second one I got from a rescue a few years ago when she was already 7 years old. I started feeding Evolution to my first dog at least 6-7 years ago when I first found out about it. I’ve been a vegetarian for 10 years, so I wanted a healthy option for my dog, too!  It disgusts me to know what ingredients are in other dog foods, and I can’t fathom feeding that to my dogs. My theory is if I wouldn’t consider eating it, why would I feed it to my dogs?

My first dog has always had a smooth shiny coat that gets many compliments from vets and others, she never smells bad or 'dog-like', and her breath is never bad. It actually smells good. I attribute all that to Evolution. Being 9 years old, she still acts like a puppy. She is full of energy and very healthy.

My second dog, when we first got her, was smelly and her coat was very rough. Since she switched to Evolution, all that has changed. She doesn’t smell bad, neither does her breath, and her coat has gotten much softer and healthier-looking. Now only if Evolution could stop her from shedding… 

Overall – I’m expecting that my dogs will live happy and healthy lives from eating Evolution pet food, and I’m so glad this product is available!"

–Tas

"Our dogs have skin issues, so the Dr. Vet recommended Evolution dry veggie dog food. We mix the evangers veggie cans with the Evolution dog food, and the dogs love it. They have 2 flavors for the doggies in Evolution, the dogs like both. It’s easy to digest and the dogs say it’s tasty. Woof Woof LOL, Just wish we could get the Evolution in a store close by instead of ordering to ship. It’s heavy so they have to charge shipping. We love the product as well as the doggies."

–Kimberly M.

"My dogs love this food. They have been eating it for years and are healthy and shiny."

–Hereon

"My dog loves it, and is a picky little Frenchie. I love that I am not killing more helpless animals needlessly."

–Girlon

"My dog likes it! I mix it with some buffalo food also for the time being though."

–Colin W.

"My dogs love it! They have been on it for 7 months and doing better than before. I would highly recommend this food to friends. Ships pretty quick too."

–Matthewon

"We started using this food in April 2007 after a recommendation from a person who raises and breads AKC dogs that compete in prestigious dog shows. I had told her how my cat developed allergies to most foods and really wasn’t doing well with the Hill’s Low-Allergen z/d Prescription Diet food. Mind you, we always fed our cat premium cat foods.

So, after ordering a $19.95 intro pack from Evolution Diet, we were thrilled to see our cat immediately embrace the dry vegan food. Our vet had some concerns, telling us to make sure there is taurine in the food (which it does).

Flash forward to his most recent vet visit which was last summer. He had to be put under anesthesia for a tooth cleaning and while he was under, the vet gave him a complete physical. When he was picked up, the vet wanted us to confirm his age. 15 years old was the reply. She couldn’t understand where we got that estimate from, surely it must have been wrong. She estimate the age at about 6 or 7 years. Well, we adopted him at a Humane Society as a baby so we knew for sure he was 15 (now 16). All I can say is that the food must have had a huge influence on his “real age” vs. “physical age.” He has a shiny coat, he is healthy, he is active, and he still loves his food. The only concern he has is a recent cracking of his bones of his back sometimes when he is stretching. Luckily, he is not in pain and he still goes on his regular daily gallop/sprint, which sounds like a pack of elephants stamping around the house (this is one of his trademarks, he has always done this).

In terms of moisture concerns or urinary issues, we have not had any. We do not moisten his food. He doesn’t like it that way. But he eats a lot of fruits and vegetables. I didn’t even know that cats liked fruits/vegetables before 1995, but this one aggressively stands firm on his love for them. In fact, he has to have cantaloupe daily, it’s non-negotiable. It has been one of those things where he has demanded it for years. Secondly, he loves bananas, so he gets a couple of pieces per week. And, during the summer months, he gets asparagus spears, which happen to be his #2 favorite thing on earth, next to cantaloupe. He has also been known to steal broccoli off of our plates and run away and eat it too. He is really good at swiftly stealing food, even at 16.

I give this food a 5/5 review because in my experience, it has been like a fountain of youth for my cat, who I adore. I am so happy we were told about this food four years ago, and I will continue to feed it to my cat without reservations."

–D. Vega

"I have one 6 year old cat who has been eating this vegan since we found him as a kitten. We recently took him to a new vet who commented how healthy he was, and how unusual it was for her to see a cat that’s not obese, but a healthy weight! We have another kitten now who has also adapted well to the food. Highly recommended!"

–Laura

"An Indian person adopting a cat is about as unholy and sacrilegious as it gets in Indian circles. Being a vegetarian myself, the burden of religious and personal preference both drove me to quickly look for vegan cat options the moment I adopted the portly Sylvester. I bought the Evolution 20 pounder and started mixing 1:1 with the purina and managed to slowly wean him out of Purina. Now he loves this food and that is all I care about. Wish they would bundle some shipping costs for two bags since at nearly 25% of cost price for shipping, it does get pretty expensive. That said, even if they decided to double the price, I would still pony up and pay."

–Anonymous

"The two little darlings at my home have been eating this particular cat food since we got them from the local shelter at the ripe young age of 6 months. We chose to switch them over to vegetarian cat food for two reasons: 1) both of us are ethical vegetarians, and 2) we could!

We switched them using the same methods vets have recommended when undergoing any change in diet for felines–slowly mixing them together in differing proportions until all that they eat is the new kind of food. In this way the cats do not undergo any kind of indigestion that might cause them to throw up (those with cats already will understand completely).

But what was the surest sign that we were doing the right thing for our cats? Even on the first day, and for everyday it was given to them after, they ignored the meat-based cat food, eating only the vegetable-based pieces from their bowl! Everyday when I went to feed them in the morning, they would be waiting next to a bowl with meat-food detritus, staring impatiently for the vegetable goodness.

As for their level of health, I have literally never known two cats to be sweeter or more active than these. And I don’t mean chaotic, but playful, pouncy, and sweet. Is it all because of the food? I can’t say to 100% certainty. But know this: when we got the kittens they were shy and scared, seemingly because both only have vision in their left eyes. Now they are more daring than even the most normal of cats.

All this and we don’t have to participate in the inhumane practice of feeding waste animals to our companion friends!"

–Thomas H.

"Both our cats absolutely love Evolution kibble. We mix it up with Red Star nutritional yeast and water and they love it even more. They’ve actually torn open the bag to get to it, and when they hear me getting it ready they come running. It’s vegan, so it contains no slaughterhouse by-products, euthanasia solution, carcinogens, or dead animals. Yay!"

–O. V.

"Every time I run out and get regular kibble or cans, my cats look scruffy and they seem to hate the store-bought stuff and hate me for feeding it to them. On this food for years, my cats are shiny, never gassy, never fat though I leave the food out all the time in a bistro feeder, and their poop ain’t sweet but seems less foul than when on other food. Only downside is that you have to remember to reorder it 2 weeks before you run out because it’s not in any stores. It’s not cheap but with 2 cats a 40 pound bag ($90 including shipping) lasts me about 12 weeks, so under $4 a week per cat, maybe $2 more than Purina, $1 more than Iams and about the same as Blue or Nutro."

–Doctor B.

"Evolution Diet food is by far the healthiest dog and cat food anywhere! I say this because I am living proof this product reversed diabetes in one of my cats caused by the commercial pet food I thought it was 'wholesome'. Evolution Diet is the alternative dog and cat food to the commercial poison food sold by all commercial pet foods.

I have been using Evolution Diet for over 17 years now and it reverses and prevents diseases while maintaining strong and healthy immune systems.

Try it, you’ll be glad you did.

Just make sure you transit the food slowly and make sure you ad water to the kibble 1-1 ratio as recommended and directed on the package. It is not recommended to feed dry kibble to cats as some cats, particularly males are predisposed to urinary blockages. Always ad filtered water 1-1 ratio to the dry food. This also keeps your cat hydrated which is very important for maintaining good health. That’s it………..your cat will thank you and will live a healthy, long life, as it should be……"

–Alfredo K.

"I love it because it’s vegan, my cat loves it because it’s good. I’ve never seen a cat so happy to be fed before, he reminds me of a dog sometimes. He loves this food, and I’m glad that he is eating healthy and that he’s happy."

–Erica J.

"I’ve been feeding my dog Evolution for a couple years now. I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea at first, but my veganism made me do it! If there had been any adverse effects, I would’ve taken her off right away. I’m not going to subject my dog to my own moralism if it does her harm. The first thing I noticed was that she dove right into her new kibble, so it passed the taste test. Of course, I slowly transitioned her from her other food. As time passed, it seemed that 2 cups total of dry food per day were enough to maintain her weight. I suppose this implies Evolution is very concentrated? She averages between 60-63 lbs throughout the year. I feed her only once in the evening, adding enough water to the kibble to make it stewy. Instead of giving her treats, I merely give her a small handful of kibble out of the two cup total once or twice a day. My dog is now twelve going on thirteen and just passed her senior checkup (blood work, stool and urine check, etc) with flying colors. I don’t dare tell the vet what I’ve been up to. I don’t think she’d approve. I let the checkups speak for themselves."

"[T]he 5 lb bag of evolution diet vegan cat food arrived today (very promptly i might add) and as soon as i opened it up my 3-year-old cat was very interested in what i was doing. usually for dry cat food i give her ami cat vegan cat food but it's a little expensive to order it from the states (especially these days what with the exchange rate and all), so i thought i'd give this stuff a try...not me personally, i mean, i thought i'd let my cat give it a try. and i gotta tell ya...she loves it! i just gave her a small scoop to begin with. she devoured it and meowed for more! it's hard to resist her so i gave her a little more. when she was finished eating that i was reading the information on the bag and she came up to the bag rubbing it and purring and trying to get inside (what a funny little monkey). so far at least she seems to really enjoy it. both she and i are very happy with the purchase."

"I have been using the Evolution vegan pet food for my cat Shadow for about a year and she loves it! Especially the cranberry treats I get every shipment. She also likes when I sprinkle on a little yeast. I also add hemp hearts to it as they are a good source of protein for her. She is 11 yrs old and I love her dearly! That is why I don't feed her that slaughterhouse sweepings off the floor. Shadow has never been sick in the time I have had her since she was a kitten, so I must be doing something right? It is time for humanity to awaken and close the slaughterhouses!"

"My poor bull terrier, Brian, has suffered with skin allergies all his life.  My vet and I have tried many different possible solutions.  My guess was always that it was food based, as many of the solutions involved changing his diet.  I tried every type of hypo-allergenic food and protein type available, fish, duck, lamb, beef, bison, chicken etc.  Tried the raw food diet for about a year.  The last diet involved me buying and cooking him lamb and rice (last suggestion from my vet). Each time I changed his diet, the allergies would clear up for a bit and then come back full strength.  I suspected perhaps he would get relief when the new meat type was introduced and then eventually develop an allergy to that meat type.  This inspired me to seek out a vegetarian diet for him. I tried cooking for him myself at first but was concerned that he wasn’t getting all the nutrients he would need.  So I searched the net and found the Gourmet Maximum Life Dog Kibble. I am happy to report that more than 6 months in, Brain is better than he has ever been. He’s bulked up nicely and really seems to love the taste. I wish I had figured this out much sooner!!"

"I order for my 4.5 year old, 80 lb female husky, Aura. She might even be part malamute. The brand I have ordered is called Evolution. I have ordered the Gourmet Fondue line and the Max Life line. I have placed 3 large orders with them to date (4 to 5 of the 40 lb bags) and they have delivered them right to my door. My dog loves the food and is very healthy according to our vet who has over 30+ years experience. All and all, I (and more importantly our furry friend) are very happy with this vegan dog food. Note: I have no financial connections whatsoever with this company. I simply feel that if we can feed our pets vegan food we should. If our furry friend lives another 10 or so years (huskies live on average between 12-15 years) she will go through about 3,000 lbs of dog kibble. Imagine how many chickens/cows etc. would have to die in order to feed her if she were not eating vegan food! She is thriving on vegan food so I would strongly urge everyone to move in this direction."

We have been feeding Hali product from vecado since adopting her more than a year ago. She is healthy, happy, and teddy bear soft fur! We live a very active lifestyle and need good nutrients to drive our energy. She is ready for anything! Service has been great, and shipping is always fast.

I found this company online because my partner drives and I don't and when he travels for work I have to buy dog food and carry it home on foot, so most of the time I'd end up buying a smaller bag and paying more for it. I also have been looking for a higher quality of plant-based dog food so was happy to find Vecado and have both these needs met. Now I can simply order a massive bag of the best vegan dog food online and get free delivery to my home. It's saved me a lot of time and money. Our dogs love the vegan gourmet!

My dog is a little over 2 years old and had never been so picky about her food until a few months ago. After determining that it wasn't a health issue, I tried a few different brands, but nothing seemed to want to entice her. She would go up to her bowl, get a sniff and walk away. She would eat at the end of the day which seemed out of desperation and she used to be so food driven! I realized she was bored of the same old kibble and decided to find something more exciting for her and hoping it would also be vegan, which I am. Thankfully, I found the gourmet maximum life kibble on Evolution Diet with reasonable shipping rates. My dog loves the taste and hasn't wanted to skip a meal yet! I bet it's because of the nutritional yeast in the recipe, either way, she's a big fan! I will exclusively buy this brand as it ethically makes sense to me and is very affordable given the prices for the large bags. When I had ordered, the delivery was very quick and they've made me a pretty loyal customer so far!

My dogs are vegan, as are we, and other than doing lots of cooking, there are no places in Montreal that cater to vegan animals. For years I have had to buy online and have the food for my dogs delivered from Ontario...and then...I found Evolution. There are no words to express the joy I feel at feeding my dogs healthy, vegan food and watching them grow up healthy and vibrant. Your service is excellent and the dogs are thrilled with the taste of Evolution Gourmet, Maximum Life. Looking forward to trying your canned foods soon.

–Shamai C

My dog ​​has many food and environmental allergies. With Evolution food, his allergies are less present and my dog ​​loves it. Also, the service is very fast!

–Stéphanie P

My dogs had been on a raw diet for a year when I decided to switch them to Evolution Diet. On the raw diet our senior labs would periodically have digestion and stomach issues including diarrhea and vomiting. In addition as a vegan, feeding raw presented a dilemma for me. I have been feeding all 3 dogs Evolution Diet for a couple of months now and have had no digestion or stomach issues. Everyone has a nice shiny coat and good energy. Evolution customer service is excellent and they are always there to help with questions.

Flounder was already vegan but I wanted to feed him non-GMO food. He loves the Maximum Life Evolution Diet kibble. We mix it with water to help him stay hydrated and save some money. I also make him a batch of the Garbanzo-based recipe using the Vegedog supplement once a week or so. I like being able to control the ingredients and make sure they're all organic. He's a fan of the Gourmet and Benevo Duo canned foods and he devours the cranberry treats!

–Michelle L

Eating a plant based diet myself, I wanted to find a plant based food for my dog. It wasn't until my vet suggested it to help with her itchy skin that I felt confident making the switch. We got the sample pack, and Finley loved them all! I love being able to provide her with high quality plant based food that she loves!

–Robyn L

I'm vegan and have a career in animal rights. It was always my plan to feed my dog a vegan diet when I got her. I had so many people gasp at the thought and tell me that dogs can sometimes survive off a vegan diet, but not thrive. It finally was getting to me so much that I thought I just had to try it.

"There's already a vegan dog (and cat) supplier in the USA—it stands for VEgan CAts and DOgs. I have been ordering from them since July 2015. I order for my 4.5-year-old, 80 lb female husky, Aura. She might even be part malamute. The brand I have ordered is called Evolution. I have ordered the Gourmet Fondu line and the Max Life line. I have placed three large orders with them to date (4 to 5 of the 40 lb bags), and they have delivered them right to my door in Kingston, Ontario, for free! My dog loves the food and is very healthy according to our vet, who has over 30+ years of experience. They also carry the AMI line of pet food. All in all, I (and more importantly, our furry friend) are very happy with this vegan dog food. One of the owners, Mikhail, is very helpful and will answer any questions you may have. Note: I have no financial connections whatsoever with this company. I simply feel that if we can feed our pets vegan food, we should. If our furry friend lives another 10 or so years (huskies live on average between 12–15 years), she will go through about 3,000 lbs of dog kibble.

"So glad we found Evolution Diet. They helped us out in determining which food would be best for Kane. As he’s allergic to any meat protein and rice, we didn’t have tons of options. Suggested we go with the Evolution Gourmet Maximum. He’s only been on it for a week but I’ve noticed a huge difference. The redness and swelling around his eyes is gone. The weeping has also stopped. He also loves it. Looking forward to more healing to come."

"My picky dog loves the Evolution Maximum Life food. She goes crazy. I even don't mind the smell. I'm glad I found a good plant-based food for my dog. The customer service is amazing and the prices are affordable."

"We started our dogs on vegan dog food about 15 months ago. The transition was actually fairly easy getting them off the meat diet. Unfortunately, the food we were on contained grain and our eldest suffers from allergies and gets very itchy skin and ear irritation so we wanted to get her off that. Friends of ours with 4 Great Danes recommended the Maximum Life so we decided to give it a try. The dogs love it as well as the wet food we order from Evolution Diet as well. The allergy symptoms have greatly decreased and everyone is loving the food."

"I recently adopted an 8-month-old puppy, Kane. I am vegan and if possible, I wanted my dog to be plant-based as well (for the love of animals but also for the health of my dog). After hours and hours of research, I came across Evolution Diet and found the dog kibble I wanted to try that was suitable for puppies. I am so thankful Evolution Diet ships to Canada because boy, it sure is hard to find a high-quality, vegan dog kibble way up here! Kane has been fully plant-based for 3 weeks now and is doing great. I have no doubt in my mind that he will continue to thrive on this diet. It feels so good knowing I can still have a companion pet that is plant-based and totally healthy! I know I am doing the absolute best I can do for my new boy, and I'm grateful that Evolution Diet was able and willing to help me out with the questions and concerns I had!"

"Max and I paddleboarding outside of Algonquin Park in September. When I adopted him a year ago and tried him on the board he didn't like it (as he had never been on one) but this year he literally jumped onto it and spent hours on the lake. I also started him on a plant-based diet (I am vegan so I wanted him to also avoid the ingestion of animal products) and he is healthier for it because he is a typical garburator Golden Retriever, eating everything in sight, edible or not. Aptly he is eating Max Life :) He suffered a number of health issues prior to his adoption from a rescue farm and these have much improved. I was so pleased to hear about Evolution Diet as they have provided well-researched education about plant-based diets, have always answered my questions responsibly and have efficiently and reliably delivered their product to my home. Max is 8 years old which proves that you can teach an old dog new tricks... and eat a healthier diet ;)"

–Kelly S


"It feels so good to actually have my dogs on a vegan diet. They are thriving, happy, and we are doing better for our planet. Nothing could be better! My only gripe is I sent an email and didn’t get a response but ordered the food anyways and everything has been great since! Love the free delivery! Thanks Evolution Diet!"

–Sabrina F


"Carly has had terrible ear infections all of her life. At 9 years old and after trying everything I decided to try Evolution vegan dog food and Carly is a happy and healthy Senior doggie now. Evolution Diet has made things very easy from ordering to delivery and the customer service is great. Very good experience!"
