Is your dog already a fan of Virtuous Vittles? This case includes twelve full-size 12.5 oz cartons of Bountiful Land™, our wholesome morsels-in-gravy meal, and ships free. Each carton stays shelf-stable for up to two years, though it's unlikely to sit around that long once your dog gets a taste.
Bountiful Land™ is a tasty, nutrient-dense morsels-in-gravy recipe built from whole-food ingredients, for dogs who love bold flavor and deserve top-tier nutrition. This complete and balanced adult dog food is 100% vegan, formulated by a board-certified veterinary nutritionist with particular focus on urinary health. Despite being entirely plant-based, it's high in protein and packed with nutrients, satisfying even dogs who love meat. It's produced in the USA using ingredients sourced globally, and the entire recipe is human-grade.
From selecting plant-based ingredients to using recyclable packaging and thoughtful transportation methods, every stage of production is designed to lessen your dog's environmental impact. Bountiful Land™ stands for more than mealtime - it represents a mission to be delicious, nutritious, and Good for Every Living Being on the Planet™, your dog included.
INGREDIENTS - Every ingredient serves a purpose
The recipe relies primarily on whole-food, plant-based sources to supply nearly all essential vitamins and minerals. While synthetic and natural vitamins can both meet nutrient standards, whole-food sources provide nutrients alongside natural cofactors and phytonutrients that aid recognition, absorption, and use by the body. By building the formula mainly from natural ingredients and supplementing only as needed, the result is complete, bioavailable nutrition suited to your dog's metabolism.

FEEDING GUIDELINES
A feeding chart is provided to help size portions correctly. Bountiful Land is designed to be readily accepted, and many dogs - especially those accustomed to varied or new foods - can transition immediately. For dogs with sensitive stomachs or a history of digestive issues, a slower transition is recommended: spread the switch over 10-14 days, increasing the proportion of Virtuous Vittles by roughly 25% every three days until the changeover is complete. Gradual transitions support digestive comfort and a healthy gut microbiome. Fresh water should always be available. Calorie recommendations are based on WSAVA maintenance energy requirements for healthy, neutered adult dogs in ideal body condition, rounded to the nearest quarter-package for convenience; adjust by ±10% to maintain a visible waistline and lightly palpable ribs. Calculations assume a typical kibble energy density of 350 kcal per cup - replace each cup of dry food removed with an equal amount of calories from Bountiful Land™.
NUTRITIONAL INFO
The brand uses the newer AAFCO "Pet Nutrition Facts" format, a clear, human-readable label showing exactly what's in each meal. Bountiful Land™ undergoes third-party testing covering the complete AAFCO nutrient panel, well beyond minimum compliance requirements - verifying actual levels of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids, not just a handful of macronutrients. This is intended to make labeling transparent, accurate, and trustworthy. AAFCO testing results are available to view.
TESTIMONIALS
Customer feedback highlights strong acceptance, even among picky eaters:
- Leigh P. (guardian of Cole): Cole usually sniffs and walks away from food, but ate this immediately.
- Robert & Lisa P. (guardians of Tilly): Tilly is a finicky eater with allergies who typically ignores food at first, but responded well to this plant-based option recommended by her vet.
- Rena S. (guardian of Cassi): Cassi sniffed curiously, then dug in; the morsels took longer to eat than kibble, which was seen as a plus.
- Marcie M. (guardian of Tamale): Tamale, a picky eater, finished quickly - fast enough that a slow feeder may be needed.
- Katie M. (guardian of Doug & Rudy): Doug took longer to eat than usual because of the mixed texture, slowing down his normally fast eating, and enjoyed the meal.
FAQs
- Is vegan dog food safe long-term? Yes - properly formulated plant-based diets can be safe and healthy long-term. Peer-reviewed research shows dogs can thrive on complete vegan diets when all essential nutrients are included. This product is formulated with a board-certified veterinary nutritionist and third-party tested to confirm complete, balanced nutrition.
- Is wet food better than kibble? Wet food is often healthier, being closer to a natural diet, higher in moisture, and typically less processed. It supports kidney and urinary health (especially in cats and older pets) and is gentler on digestion. A fully wet diet offers the most benefit, but mixing with kibble or using it as a topper still improves hydration, flavor, and nutrient absorption versus dry food alone. This product contains no preservatives and uses ingredients chosen for nutritional value.
- Does it contain taurine? Yes. Taurine supports heart, eye, and urinary health, and is largely absent from plants and reduced by heat in many animal-based foods, so it's supplemented. This product uses vegan, bioidentical taurine produced through natural fermentation for good absorption.
- Is it complete and balanced with all essential amino acids? Yes - every recipe meets or exceeds AAFCO nutrient profiles for its life stage, formulated with a board-certified veterinary nutritionist to combine plant proteins for a full essential amino acid profile, and validated by third-party lab testing.
- Is it easy to digest for sensitive stomachs? Yes - plant-based proteins and fibers are paired with prebiotic ingredients like pumpkin and beet pulp to support gut bacteria and digestion; the moist texture of wet food further eases absorption, making it suitable for sensitive stomachs or food intolerances.
- Is it free from common allergens? Yes - since most dog food allergies stem from animal proteins like chicken, beef, dairy, or eggs, this all-plant-based recipe avoids those triggers. It contains no animal products, artificial additives, or preservatives.
- What does "Good For Every Living Being on the Planet™" mean? It reflects a philosophy of nourishing pets while reducing environmental impact, since plant proteins require less land, water, and energy and produce fewer greenhouse gases than animal proteins. Feeding this food can lower a dog's diet-related carbon footprint by up to 34 times compared to conventional canned food. All recipes are cruelty-free.
- How do I transition my dog to this food? Since it's designed to be appealing right away, many dogs adjust quickly, especially those used to varied diets. For dogs used to one food or with sensitive stomachs, a gradual 7-10 day transition is recommended: begin with 25% new food mixed into the current diet, then move to 50%, 75%, and finally 100%, allowing the digestive system and microbiome to adjust smoothly.
