Is Pedigree vegan?
No vegan or plant-based product line exists; all formulas contain animal ingredients.
Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients — beeswax, lanolin, carmine, collagen, silk or milk proteins — anywhere in the formula. It is a separate claim from cruelty-free, and a brand can be one without the other.
