My pittie rescue, who is a plant-based pup, goes crazy for this! We use it as a topper on her kibble and she gets so excited by the smell :) We love Petaluma!
We finally received the trial packets of the kibble and dehydrated food. It doesnt matter which I put down she gobbles it all up. She's going to be so sad tomorrow when she has to eat the canned vegan food she has been eating until I can get her the full size bags ordered tomorrow and wait for it to be delivered. I've been looking for a vegan food that did t look just like other kibble and the wet didnt look like any other canned and we found it with Petaluma. I love that the dehydrated is green and that you can see pieces of the other veggies and the kibble you can tell is baked and not over cooked snd you can see the veggies in it. Thank you Petalum for a high quality vegan food.
Been feeding petaluma to our dogs for years now, they love it and are very healthy. Very happy I found this brand
As an animal rights activist of 15 years, I have personally witnessed the absolute horror show that is animal agriculture. Removing myself as much as humanly possible from the systems that exploit and commodify animals is important to me. Grateful to Petaluma for creating a dog food that is healthy and provides our senior dog with all her nutritional needs. Thank you Petaluma!
The food smells good, the ingredients are phenomenal and the price is excellent! My dogs lose their minds for it and it smells like cookies. I have a German Shepherd, a Lab and a Maltichon that range from 10lbs-65lbs. and 3-7yrs old. Everyone’s on the same recipe and doing well even my super allergic Lab isn’t having a reaction to this food for the first time ever in his 7yrs of life. I’ve always had to make his food. To be liberated of that is life changing!
Kelly - this is an incredible review. We're so honored that you choose Petaluma, and are thrilled to hear that all of your pups are thriving! We're so grateful that you took the time to share your experience - it means so much to us as a small brand. Thank you!
The kibble is too big for her so I am waiting for the small bites you have in the works. However she did like the dried food you add water to. All the ingredients on all products are fantastic. There is an abundance of nutrients in everything. All in all great products.
Thank you so much for this kind and generous review! We're so glad to hear the ingredients are a good fit - and we're working on small bite sizes for our baked food - stay tuned :)
Thank you!
My partner was very skeptical that our Huskies would be okay switching from a raw diet to a vegan one, but I felt it was important to reduced our reliance on factory farmed meat to feed our dogs. What initially began as an attempt to reduce meat in our dogs diet by using this as a topper has turned into this and the baked food becoming their whole diet, and they LOVE IT. Their poops are great, they're stoked for meal time, and we now use the baked food as treats (it even works for off leash walks with our huskies - that's saying a lot). Please just make it in bigger more economical bags! We get very frequent orders feeding 3 dogs. Also! Our vet looked into this food as she'd never heard of it and gave it 2 thumbs up for quality and recipe.
I have two pups who are now on this food. One has suffered from chronic ear infections and slightly elevated kidney levels. After switching to this food he is able to sleep through the night again without waking up to use the bathroom. His recurrent ear infections also stopped! 10/10 would recommend!
I have two elderly pups, one of whom is quite picky. I was making her special meals for months until I found Petaluma. The dehydrated meals are plant-based/vegan and she loves them. It’s also cleared out her glands and she is way more regular.
Fantastic food for your furry loved one.
We’re still transitioning, but they aren’t avoiding it in their bowls, and it seems like they like it as much as the meat-based food. Fingers crossed!
I heard about this company via NPR. My Shih Tzu had chronic skin allergies and my vet and I syspfood to some degree
I have not made a total switch, but have greatly reduced her meat intake. Her skin has improved tremendously.
I’ve been looking for a freeze-dried, plant-based whole food. I ordered the sample pack and immediately had to order a one-pound bag—my little girl loved it right there on the first try.
Our dog Willow loves her new food and eating vegan. We especially appreciate that the food is organic and non-GMO. That’s literally impossible to find in the Vegan dog food market. Finally a company that cares about the quality of their dog food. Highly recommend recommended.
Hi Steve, we're so happy to hear adorable Willow loves her new food! Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. As a small business, we are so grateful for your support and really appreciate that you took the time to share your feedback with us.
Our two rescues have been on a vegan diet, both for digestive issues and because we are vegan as well. When we learned about Petaluma, it's low environmental impact and the fact that the food is gently baked, we gave it a try. Our dogs LOVE it and are thriving on it! Ordering and shipping is super easy and fast!
Look at those CUTIES! Thank you so much for sharing, Bev! We're delighted to hear that your resuce pups are doing so well and that it's working out for the whole household. We're grateful for your support.
My Pitbull has allergies and is a pickey eater but loves Petaluma! I switched for a few months to another dog food because of cost and my lab gained weight so back to Petaluma!
Hi Jennifer, we're so glad your pittie loves Petaluma and that it works well for his allergies and weight management! So grateful for your support.
To be honest, I didn’t think my dog would like the Mixer because of the smell…..was I wrong!!! She absolutely loves it!! Great product. I would absolutely purchase again and recommend.
Hi there! We're thrilled to hear your dog loves the Whole Food Mixer. The greens in the Whole Food Mixer can definitely have a sharp / grassy smell to a human nose :)
I heard the NPR interview and decided to order samples. My dog loves the dry foods but did not like the topper. I’ve tried other vegan dog foods, which she refused to eat. This dog food actually smells good! I’ve been mixing the two varieties for my 9-year old. She suffers from lifelong gastrointestinal disease and has had no issues with this food. Customer service has responded quickly to my questions.
Hi Camille! We're so happy to hear that your pup is doing so well on Petaluma and it agrees with her digestion. Thank you for giving Petaluma a try - reach out any time if we can be helpful, and huge thank you for taking the time to leave a review :)
While I typically feed my senior rescue dog fresh, frozen food, I needed something light-weight and easy to travel with since I was bringing my dog to Spain with me. Not only was this food easy to pack and prepare, but my dog loved it and I will continue to add it to her wet food. While in Spain, she ate nothing but the Petaluma and was eager to eat every day.
She is adorable! So happy to hear that the Whole Food Mixer worked out as fresh meals on the go - this is one of the exact use cases that we had in mind when we were developing the product. Thank you for trying Petaluma and for taking the time to share your feedback with us :)
Smells delicious! My dog favors it over his other vegan dog food. I really appreciate the use of renewable energy, and that the food is 30% organic!
Hi Taylor! We're so glad your dog is loving their food. Thank you for supporting sustainable and organic ingredients — it means a lot to us. We appreciate your kind words!
All three of my rescue dogs love this kibble! And why wouldn't they? It smells like a peanut butter cookie! I love that the pieces are on the larger side and don't have a greasy texture. A handful also makes for a great training treat! I'm also very happy that this company offers a senior formula because my boy is starting to get white hair around his snout, so we'll probably be feeding it to him in the near future.
Hi Katie, we're thrilled to hear your rescue dogs love our kibble and that it's become a favorite! It's wonderful that you're planning ahead for your senior pup (nothing cuter IMO than a graying snout) Thank you for sharing your positive experience!
It's refreshing to find a company that focuses on creating a high-quality kibble, and I feel good about feeding it to my dog.
Their customer care is also excellent. I had an issue with my shipment and they were quick to respond, proactive and genuinely helpful.
I'm happy to support a company that stands behind both its product and its customers :)
Hi McKenzie, this is an extraordinarily kind review! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with our product and service. Your support means a lot to us and your dog. Looking forward to serving you both in the future!
