How I Saved $1,200/Year Switching My Labrador to Vegan Food
Before switching Max to plant-based food, I spent $3,200/year on vet bills, medications, and special diets. Now? $58/month for food. That's it.
Here's the full breakdown—with receipts—of how I saved $1,200 in year one (and counting).
The "Before" Breakdown: Where My Money Went
Monthly Vet Visits: $150-250/month
Why: Chronic ear infections, hot spots, skin issues
Annual cost: $2,100
Medications: $80/month
- Apoquel (allergy med): $65/month
- Medicated ear drops: $25/bottle (used 6 bottles/year)
Annual cost: $930
"Premium" Allergy Dog Food: $95/month
Prescription hydrolyzed protein diet that barely worked
Annual cost: $1,140
Emergency Vet Visits: $800/year
Two trips for severe infections that couldn't wait
TOTAL ANNUAL COST: $4,970
And Max was STILL miserable.
The "After" Breakdown: What I Spend Now
Wild Earth Dog Food: $59/month
One bag lasts Max (65 lb Labrador) about 4 weeks
Annual cost: $708
Vet Visits: $120/year
Just annual checkups now. No sick visits.

TOTAL ANNUAL COST: $828
SAVINGS: $4,142/year
The 30-Day Transition Plan (Exactly What I Did)
Week 1: Slow Transition
- 75% old food + 25% Wild Earth
- Max had slightly softer stools (normal during transition)
Week 2: Increase Ratio
- 50% old food + 50% Wild Earth
- Stools normalized
- Scratching reduced by 30%
Week 3: Almost There
- 25% old food + 75% Wild Earth
- Hot spots started healing
- Ear infections cleared up
Week 4: Full Switch
