How to Switch Your Cat to a Vegan Diet

(8 products)

Transitioning your cat from a traditional meat-based diet to a compassionate, plant-powered one doesn’t have to be hard. This curated collection features gentle starters, complete nutrition options, and helpful tools that support a smooth switch while keeping your feline thriving every step of the way.

1. Transition gradually
Start by mixing a small amount of vegan cat food into your cat’s current meat-based food. Slowly increase the plant-based portion over 7–14 days. This helps prevent digestive upset and allows your cat to adjust to new flavours and textures.

2. Start with sample packs
Use sample packs (like Ami or VegeCat samples) to test what your cat actually likes before committing to a full bag. Finding the right taste and texture early makes the transition much smoother.

3. Boost palatability with flavour toppers
If your cat is hesitant, add vegan flavour enhancers like VegeYeast or pNooch, or use gravy-style toppers. These add a familiar umami taste that encourages picky eaters to accept the new food.

4. Support digestion during the switch
Digestive aids like plant-based enzymes can help reduce gas or loose stools while your cat adapts to new ingredients. A smoother tummy = a more successful transition.

5. Monitor urinary health
During and after the switch, use a urinary pH monitoring kit (like CheckUp) to keep an eye on urinary health. This gives you peace of mind and helps ensure the diet is working well for your cat.

How each product helps with the transition:

Evolution pNooch Flavourings & VegeYeast – These flavour boosters add a tasty “cheesy” umami boost many cats love, making vegan food more appealing and easing the palatability gap during the transition.

Enzyme Miracle – Digestive enzymes support smoother digestion as your cat’s system adapts to plant-based ingredients, reducing stomach upset during the diet change.
