Why PawCo?
Why PawCo?
We are a team of board certified animal nutritionists and food scientists.
PawCo cares about the health of your pet, the welfare of other animals, and the environment. We offer complete and balanced dog meals. PawCo’s 100% plant-based meals are sure to provide your dog with all the necessary vitamins, minerals and amino acids, while reducing the negative effects of meat consumption on the health of your pup, the environment, and animal welfare.
Why fresh food?
Fresh food offers multiple benefits over traditional dry kibble. At PawCo, we believe that our pups should eat as well as we do, and that fresher and less processed food is better for everyone, including four-legged family members. Our ingredients are fresh, nutritious, and tasty, and unlike dry kibble, our meals provide enough moisture to support healthy digestion.
Why plant-based pet food?
It’s a common misconception that dogs are carnivores. They are, in fact, omnivores, and recent studies have shown that our furry friends can live happy, healthy lives, and may actually thrive on a vegan diet, as long as they get all the nutrients they require. Benefits of a vegan diet for dogs include reduced allergy symptoms, shinier coats and healthier skin, reduced cancer risk, reduced animal farming, and a reduced environmental impact.
About our food
Where can I buy PawCo Foods?

Does your food suit all dogs?
While all dogs are different, our meals are formulated to suit most adult dogs.
Pawco meals are free of animal products and therefore they are recommended for those who have allergies for animal products.
Our current recipes are not recommended for puppies. This is a work in progress and we will have Pawco meals specifically formulated for puppies in the near future.
We recommend consulting your veterinarian about any diet change, as they are familiar with your pet’s medical history and dietary needs.
How do I transition my dog to PawCo foods?
Transition to the new food over the course of a week or ten days, gradually decreasing your pets current food and increasing the Pawco food.
Following the instructions we’ll send with your transition package, mix PawCo adult dog food in gradually larger proportions with your dog’s current diet for the first seven to ten days, until you’re feeding 100% of PawCo’s food. Be sure to always have a bowl of fresh water available.
Does your food meet AAFCO standards?
Our recipes are complete and balanced plant based meals, and formulated by a team of board certified animal nutritionists to exceed AAFCO’s standard, for adult life maintenance.

How does the subscription work?
How does the subscription work?
When you go to purchase your first PawCo package, you will be asked to create a profile and answer a few questions about your dog, such as their age and weight. We use this information to calculate the appropriate amount of food for your dog, and you can choose a subscription plan based on your answers. The first package you receive will be our transition package, containing the quantity of food you’ll need for the first 7-10 days of transitioning your pup to our product, a welcome letter, and feeding instructions. You and your four-legged family member will then continue to receive deliveries of yummy, balanced, and complete vegan dog meals from PawCo regularly, based on your selected plan.
