Product variants

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.

Recipes

Use the kibble recipe (in the Vegepup instructions ) to make delicious kibble. Cut kibble pieces larger or smaller according to the size of your dog. You can certainly have your recipes, but do ensure you add enough Vegepup™ (see amounts below).

Duration

The amount varies a great deal depending on age, weight, recipe ingredients, and more.

Find out how many calories your puppy needs using this calorie calculator
If you follow 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.
