Vegepet
VegePup™ Supplement
| Old VegePup | New VegePup |
|---|---|
| Classic formula | Added L-Carnitine, Niacin, Thiamine, Pantothenic Acid, and Vitamin B6. The amount of Taurine is doubled and the level of Methionine is increased. |
| Standard minerals | Minerals are now supplied by more bioavailable amino acid chelates: Zinc Amino Acid Chelate, Iron Amino Acid Chelate, Copper Amino Acid Chelate. |
| Sodium Selenite as the selenium source | Switched to Selenium Yeast for better Selenium bioavailability. (Puppies with yeast intolerance should be cautious: Selenium Yeast < 4 mg per 1g of VegePup.) |
| Requires supplementation with VegeYeast or Nutritional Yeast for Vitamin B complex | Puppy recipes no longer require food yeast for B vitamins, but VegeYeast was kept in the recipes to maintain the calorie and nutrient density in meals. |
| 600g | 400g (100g sample available). |
| Lower price | Higher price, but still more economical than commercially available vegan puppy food. |
