What if your dog could live longer, feel better, and help save the planet—just by changing what’s in their bowl? My Dog Is a Vegan Pt 2 takes us on a wild, heartfelt ride through the world of plant-powered pups, shaking up everything you thought you knew about canine cuisine.
Forget the stereotypes. This isn’t about feeding your dog kale and tofu while they look at you like you’ve lost your mind. This film is grounded in real science, real stories, and real results. With the help of veterinarians, nutritionists, scientists, and everyday dog guardians, we dive into the truth about vegan dog food. Spoiler alert: It’s not only safe, it might be the future of pet nutrition.
Vegan dog food isn’t just a fringe trend anymore—it’s being studied by major universities and even recommended by vets who aren’t vegan themselves. The documentary follows experts like Dr. Andrew Knight, a PhD-holding vet who's spent his career studying the health outcomes of dogs on plant-based diets. What he found? Dogs aren’t just surviving—they’re thriving.
And let’s not forget the environmental twist. Did you know 20% of all meat produced in the U.S. goes to pet food? That’s a climate disaster in a dog dish. But when we switch to sustainable, plant-based alternatives, the impact is massive: less water, fewer emissions, more ethical choices—and yes, fewer sad cows and chickens caught in the pet food system.
The film also tackles the meat industry’s best-kept secret: the so-called “by-products” that go into your pet’s kibble. You’ll never look at a label the same way again. From 4D meats (dead, dying, diseased, or disabled animals) to rendered waste, it’s not exactly what most pet owners expect when they hear “beef” or “chicken.”
But it’s not all doom and gloom—there are wagging tails, belly rubs, and happy, zooming dogs throughout. We meet pups who healed from allergies, gained energy, and even added years to their lives thanks to their new diets. Their humans beam with pride as they share how going vegan helped their dogs thrive.
Behind the bowls are passionate entrepreneurs using AI and science to create custom diets, innovative companies sourcing local ingredients, and global researchers working to prove what many have already experienced: vegan dogs can be healthy, happy, and live long, vibrant lives.
My Dog Is a Vegan Pt 2 is more than a documentary—it’s a joyful, curious journey into the future of food for our furry best friends. Whether you're skeptical, curious, or already all-in, this film serves up a feast of facts, feels, and fresh thinking that might just change your dog’s dinner—and the world.
