Vegetarian or vegan diets vs meat diets for dogs NEW STUDY
Is a vegan diet better than a conventional pet food for dogs? By far the largest study of its kind…
100% Nutritionally Complete. 100% Vegan. Delicious Cheesy flavour.
Vegan and plant-based food for dogs is no longer taboo; in fact, it’s the only way. Created and owned by experience vet Dr. Lucy, we determined to make the pet food industry kind and sustainable. McKinna Plantlabs have created the Noochy Poochy range. This is our innovative first range – so called because each of the products in the range is blended with the vegan superfood Nutritional Yeast – known lovingly around the world as ‘Nooch’! When added to a recipe, nooch gives it a delicious, all-natural cheesy flavour – without any need for the sad, old dairy trade. Noochy Poochy vegan dog food is proudly manufactured in the UK. Want to know what sets Noochy Poochy apart from the other dog food brands? Ethics and sustainability are at the forefront of our product range. From ensuring all our ingredients are ethically sourced and NEVER tested on animals, to our 100% recyclable packaging. We are fully committed to providing an ethical and sustainable option to feed your beloved pets. We are the plant-based dog feeding experts – here to help ethically-minded, discerning dog owners feed their dogs the best, while also caring for the world around them. Noochy Poochy vegan dog food really is a better way to feed.

Want to know what sets Noochy Poochy apart? Quite simply, our range of vegan plant-based pet food is committed wholeheartedly to improving dog food ethics. From responsibly sourcing our soybeans to supporting organic farming to our 100% recyclable packaging. We are fully committed to improving the ethics of dog food manufacturing for a better planet.
Why does Noochy taste so good and delight even our fussiest canine customers? Because we use the cheesy tasting superfood known as nutritional yeast ...AKA nooch!
We get our cruelty-free protein from plants - some of them you'd expect - like soybeans, chickpeas and lentils, but some you might not... like rice and sweet lupins.
Dogs are omnivores, which means they can thrive on a wide variety of foods, an evolutionary advantage evolved particularly over the thousands of years our faithful companions have been sharing our dinner spoils and scraps (and more recently sandwiches) since the human farming revolution. Their digestive systems have geared up to digesting starches found in vegetables and grains more efficiently.
You can't feed a dog chickpeas and rice and expect him or her to get all the nutrients they need - just like you cant fee chicken and rice and expect them to thrive. The correct balance of protein, carbohydrate, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals is vitally important. Particular amino acids like methionine, carnitine and taurine, which are likely to be low or absent in a vegan diet also should be supplemented for complete canine nutrition - this is why we supplemented all 3 in our complete dog food recipes.
YES we are 100% vegan. After months of sourcing, testing, retesting, and analysing, we found a Vitamin D3 made from algae that actually did better than the conventional (non-vegan) D3 in stability tests.
Of course, you can still use Noochy as your dry if you feed your dog wet and dry mix.

My dog really likes this food! It is the only one she wants to eat and we have really tried many, many brands! I also tried it, quite a few times!! Really pleased with it but also for everything it stands for.

My Shih Tzu Elmo and 2 King Charles Cavaliers absolutely love their Noochy Poochy and literally woof it down! It’s the first kibble that Elmo our Shih Tzu has not picked at. At 13.5 he’s gained some much needed weight and has got his Va Va Voom back! Thank you 🙏

Our dogs really loves this. We are happy that they enjoyed their vegan meals. We feel so good that they are eating something healthy and tasty. Absolutely 5 star!

Nutritionally complete, delicious, vegan, Noochy Poochy has everything our strapping young staffy needs! The proof is in the pudding too, as he dribbles uncontrollably when dinner time comes around and scoffs his food in seconds flat. So glad there's an ethical company producing vegan dog food as scrumptious as this. And evidently so is our doggy!

I received my free sample today and my boy loved it, it tastes very Italian and of tomatoes (yes I tried it!)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We have 5 plant-based doggies who we have been trying to find the most nutritionally complete food for for a while now. The last couple were 'complete', but two of our dogs just didn't like the texture, and we were having to soak the food everyday just to get them to go near it. Both doggies gobble through Noochy Poochy, and one even howls for it! It smells great even to us, and the mini kibble is so much easier for them to eat. It's also great to use as training treats, which are really tough to find for PB dogs!

My dogs love these little kibbles (also tasted one myself and was nice!) They smell
good too, unlike the fish kibble they’ve had previously. They’ve always had intolerance of certain animal proteins which can make them sick but no problems at all with this. Great to find a plant based option with a good ingredient list that also tastes and smells so nice

Absolutely Fabulous!
Our dogs love this food and will even do tricks for it - what’s not to love about giving your dog healthy and sustainable food? Would highly recommend.

Moved over to feed our two rescued Greyhounds on Noochy about a month ago. One of them is a fussy eater but both of them woof their bowls down. Glossy coats and super wet snoots all day long💚🌱✔️
