At Garvo, we strive for the best for both people and animals. Space for humans and animals to enjoy life. That is (co-)living.
It starts with caring for animals with love. That is why high-quality animal nutrition is essential.

For generations, we have been working with knowledge, attention, and care to develop feed that allows dogs to fully enjoy life.

Because the demand for vegetarian dog food is growing, we have developed a vegetarian dog kibble as an addition to our range.

Now we are curious about real-life experiences.
How do dogs eat this kibble? How are digestion, energy levels, and overall condition affected?

For this, we are looking for dog owners who are willing to test this kibble at home with their dog and honestly share their experiences with us.

How can you participate in our vegetarian dog food test panel?
Measurement moment 1 – before starting
Before you begin feeding, we ask you to complete a short questionnaire (see the questionnaire link at the bottom of this page). Select: Registration for the test panel.
It asks about, among other things:

• current diet
• eating behaviour
• stool
• energy and condition

This gives us a good picture of your dog’s starting situation.

After that, you can start feeding the vegetarian dog kibble.

How much Rangers does your dog need? Many factors are involved like temperature, activity, habits, etc. The table lists the daily nutritional requirements, preferably split over two servings, but this can be varied. Always monitor your dog’s condition closely and ensure they will have plenty of water to drink.

Dog weight                             Daily feeding amount
2 – 5 kg                                         55 – 120 g
5 – 10 kg                                       120 – 190 g
10 – 20 kg                                    190 – 325 g
20 – 30 kg                                    325 – 440 g
30 – 40 kg                                    440 – 550 g
40 – 50 kg                                    550 – 650 g
50 – 70 kg                                    650 – 825 g

Important when switching food
From extruded kibble to pressed kibble
Switch completely at once.
Extruded and pressed kibble should not be mixed.

From pressed kibble to pressed kibble
Mixing is allowed and may help your dog adjust to the new taste gradually.

---

No transition diet needed
Based on our current experience, dogs generally do not need a special transition schedule for this food.

Digestion usually adapts within 2–3 days. From that point onward, experiences and observations can be properly evaluated.

---

How long do you test?
This varies per dog.

A small dog will often take longer to finish a 4 kg bag than a large dog. Therefore, we do not work with a fixed test period, but with measurement moments per bag.

We recommend feeding the product for about 2 months to get a good impression of longer-term effects.

---

Measurement moment 2 – after feeding 4 kg
Once the first bag has been fully used, you can fill in your experiences via the same questionnaire link at the bottom of this page.

Select: Share experiences with vegetarian dog food.
You will then receive follow-up questions about, among other things:

• acceptance of the food
• appetite and enthusiasm
• stool and digestion
• energy and behaviour
• coat and skin
• general impression of the kibble

---

Continue longer?
Would you like to continue feeding? You can order a new bag at the Garvo retailer where you purchased the first one.

Feel free to let us know via advies@garvo.nl or call us at 0313-472321.

We also highly value long-term experiences. This helps us better understand how dogs experience this food in everyday life.
