Start Veganuary 2024 with <tc>VEGDOG</tc>

We'll tell you what's behind this term below.

Definition: What is Veganuary?

The term veganuary is made up of the words "vegan" and "January". Veganuary is a challenge that encourages people around the world to eat vegan during the month of January. The aim of this campaign is to show that a purely plant-based diet is not as difficult as you might initially think. After all, there are now countless products, recipes and tips that make a vegan diet much easier. Vegan January is all about rethinking meat consumption and doing something good for animal welfare and the climate with a vegan lifestyle.

Figures & Facts: How long has Veganuary been around?

The Veganuary Challenge was launched in 2014. The idea came from a non-profit organization in the UK. The Veganuary community is growing steadily from year to year. In 2023, over 700,000 people worldwide took part. Many of the participants also decide to go vegan beyond January. A survey revealed that 80% of participants have continued to drastically reduce or completely change their consumption of animal products. Of these, 28% even follow a completely vegan diet.

More and more companies are also jumping on the bandwagon and launching new vegan products on the market in January, thus ensuring more variety in the supermarket shelves. We at VEGDOG also have exciting promotions for your four-legged friend in January. These include our starter bundle for the perfect introduction to a partially or fully vegan diet for your four-legged friend.

Vegan dog food: full plant-based power for your furry friend

At VEGDOG everything revolves around a vegan diet, not just in January, but all year round. Due to her dog Nelson's food allergy, our founder Tessa worked with vets to develop a purely plant-based dog food. This avoids the dog's main allergens, which are often animal proteins. Our complete vegan dog food is hypoallergenic and meets 100% of your dog's needs. By buying our food, you also reduce your pet's carbon footprint and do something good for other animals and the environment.

Discover our Veganuary Starter Bundle

As part of the Veganuary, we have put together a Starter Bundle for you and your furry friend on which you can save 15%. It contains our community's favorite products that are perfect for getting started with vegan dog nutrition. In our Veganuary Starter Bundle you'll find 2 kg of our GREEN CRUNCH dry food. Plus two of our plant-based treats: DENTALS, which provide your pet with optimal dental care, and smoky JERKEY snacks.
