We Have Reinvented Dog Food


Dogs have evolved and are classified as omnivores, not carnivores. That means they don’t need meat to thrive. All of our dog food formulas are expertly formulated to contain sustainable protein and all of the essential nutrients – from plants. Our food is vet-developed and scientifically-formulated to taste better and offer complete and balanced nutrition while simultaneously being better for the planet. 




About Our Maintenance Formula



  • 23% protein by weight

  • Formulated for all adult dogs, all breeds

  • Limited ingredients for sensitive tummies

  • Perfect for younger healthy adult dogs

  • Free from the most common food allergens for dogs

  • Available in Classic Roast and Golden Rotisserie Flavors

  • 100% plant-based & cruelty-free

  • Choose from 4 lb or 28 lb bags


Our Maintenance Formula is expertly developed by veterinarians, scientists, and nutritionists to have everything your dog needs in a plant-based package. With the right mix of ingredients and an irresistible flavor, your pup will receive targeted nutrition that can help keep their gut regular, skin healthy, and coat soft.



  • COMPLETE NUTRITION: This kibble has no fillers - just real ingredients like superfood sweet potato, ancient grains, flaxseed, turmeric and more for a junk-free, holistic and nutritious canine diet. This product is free from the major food allergens in dogs.

  • TOTAL BODY BENEFITS: This nutritious Maintenance formula is great for all dogs. It combines 23% protein with optimal digestive support, healthy fats for skin and coat, and includes added Taurine and L-Carnitine to support their heart health and metabolism!

  • SAVORY FLAVOR OPTIONS: We set out to create the healthiest and tastiest meat-free dog food possible and we made flavor and smell one of our top priorities. The Classic Roast flavor features a smokiness and notes of black pepper commonly associated with beef and Golden Rotisserie features rosemary, thyme, and scents associated with chicken – all without harming any animals in the process.

  • ALLERGY BENEFITS: Wild Earth’s veterinarian-developed plant-based dog foods are made without meat, dairy, or wheat, which are the most common food allergens for dogs. Our high quality, sustainable plant proteins contain all the essential amino acids dogs require while also being ideal for dogs with common food allergies and sensitivities. Itching and scratching, red belly, and poor digestion are all signs your dog may have issues with their food.

  • SUSTAINABLY SOURCED: With every bag of Wild Earth, you help reduce the impact of the pet food industry. Our food requires less water and emits less CO2 than meat-based kibble! Made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients.

Maintenance Formula Flavor Options


We set out to create the healthiest—and tastiest—meat-free dog food possible and because we know how important palatability is to your dog’s happiness we made flavor & smell one of our top priorities.

When you open our bags of food you are met with clean savory smells, that will get your mouth salivating along with your dogs. Go ahead, give it a try! You’ll notice the difference right away.

Golden Rotisserie: Is our “Chick-Free” recipe perfect for dogs that prefer the taste of our feathered friends—without doing our feathered friends any harm.

Classic Roast: Is our “No Bull” flavor similar to beef aromas and flavors without harming any animals, it will get your dog’s tail wagging when you fill their bowl every time.


Does Your Dog Have Food Allergies?


The most common food allergy triggers for dogs are Beef, dairy, chicken, wheat, lamb, pork, egg, soy, rabbit, and fish. Wild Earth products are 100% plant-based and contain ZERO of these allergens!


Recently published research noted that dogs fed a plant-based diet reported fewer health conditions, fewer vet visits, and longer life expectancy than dogs fed a conventional, meat-based kibble. Make the switch today and see the difference high-quality plant-based food can have for your dog’s happiness.


Every Scoop Makes a Difference


Through their diet, pets constitute about 25–30% of the environmental impacts from animal production in terms of the use of land, water, fossil fuel, phosphate, and biocides. Compared to a plant-based diet, a meat-based diet requires more energy, land, and water and has greater environmental consequences. Choose Wild Earth because your dog and our planet are worth it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy Wild Earth products?

Currently, our Performance Formula and Maintenance Formula are sold through WildEarth.com, Amazon.com, Petco.com and Chewy.com! We are also available in select local retail stores so make sure to check our Store Locator.

Don’t dogs need meat to thrive?

Short answer: No! Long answer: Dogs are omnivores. Meaning, they can break down protein from animal and plant sources. We created dog food formulas with only plant-based ingredients because plants allow us to provide your dog with a nutritionally-complete and balanced diet. That also saves millions of lives in the process. Dogs need protein and a specific blend of essential amino acids—both of which our formulas are guaranteed to have. Learn about our ingredients →

How much should I feed my dog?

This depends on your dog’s age, size, breed, and any specific health goals you may have for your dog (i.e. weight gain, weight loss). Check out the feeding chart on this page or reach out to our knowledgeable Customer Success Team through the chat icon in the lower right of this page.

Does Wild Earth meet AAFCO requirements?

Yes! Our Performance Formula and Maintenance Formula dog food meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for Maintenance.

We believe meeting the AAFCO guidelines are a baseline requirement for any dog brand. We not only meet the guidelines - in many cases our dog food formulas exceed these requirements.

Has there been any link to Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) and plant-based dog diets?

Our new Performance Formula and Maintenance Formula dog food recipes do not contain any legumes so even though there is no correlation between plant-based diets and DCM we have eliminated this from our new recipes! This is a complex issue, but with current information there is no correlation between plant-based diets and DCM. 

All current data suggests that if a link, in fact, exists between diet and DCM, it may be due to nutritional deficiencies in the diet and since our food is nutritionally-complete, this won’t be an issue. For a full breakdown, read this article from our Chief Product Officer, Dr. Abril Estrada: What We Know About Canine DCM and It’s Link to Diet
