## About VEGDOG

VEGDOG is a German food-tech company based in Munich, specializing in 100% plant-based, vegan, and hypoallergenic pet food.

Founded in 2015 by Tessa Zaune-Figlar and Valerie Henssen, VEGDOG was created to provide a nutritious solution for dogs with food intolerances. The company is recognized as the first to offer gluten-free and nutritionally complete dog food made entirely from plant ingredients. The product line includes dry food, wet food, supplements, and treats, all designed to meet the essential nutritional needs of dogs. VEGDOG collaborates with veterinary nutritionists to ensure the health and digestibility of its offerings. The company also recently expanded its portfolio to include VEGCAT, a line of plant-based snacks for cats. Operating primarily as a Direct-to-Consumer brand, VEGDOG sells its products online and through a network of retailers across Germany, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland. With a focus on sustainability and ethical practices, VEGDOG aims to provide health-conscious pet owners with high-quality, environmentally friendly feeding options.
