VegePup™ is a supplement used by caretakers to cook nutritionally complete homemade meals for puppies and pregnant and lactating dogs.

Because puppies and expecting or nursing mothers require about 30% protein and higher levels of certain nutrients than adult dogs, VegePup™ and its recipes are specifically formulated for puppies up to 10–12 months old and for pregnant or lactating dogs.

VegePup™ contains higher calcium and phosphorus levels than VegeDog™ and includes added threonine to enhance the diet’s amino acid profile. The supplement is also safe and appropriate for large-breed puppies.

Why cook your dog’s meals at home with VegePup™?

1. Complete and balanced nutrition

With VegePup™, your dog receives a diet that is nutritionally complete when used in the provided recipes. Without supplementation, homemade meals can be missing key nutrients - which are particularly important for growing puppies and dogs that are pregnant or nursing.

2. Full control over ingredients

Homemade meals allow you to choose ingredients your dog enjoys and avoid those they don’t. Examples:

Include: sweet potatoes, green peas
Exclude: corn, wheat

3. Variety

Homemade cooking lets you offer different flavours and ingredients, keeping meals exciting and encouraging a good appetite while providing balanced nutrition. See Recipes section below.

4. Cost-effective

Preparing dog food at home and supplementing with VegePup™ is an affordable feeding option. One bottle lasts a long time and can be more economical than the commercial kibble options. See Duration section below.

Find out how many calories your puppy needs using this calorie calculator
If you follow VegePup™ recipes, for every 1000 calories of homemade food, use 16 grams of VegePup™.
Divide 400g (bottle weight) by your daily usage to estimate how long it lasts.

Example:

If your puppy eats 500 calories/day, you’d need 8g of VegePup™ daily, so the 400g bottle would last ~50 days.
If your puppy eats 1500 calories/day, you’d need 24g daily, so the 400g bottle would last ~16.5 days.
