I was introduced to this vegan dog food called v-dog. For the kibble it is $45.99 for 20lb. It is also, corn, soy, wheat and gluten free.
They have a feeding guidelines:

Less than 10lbs. - 3/4 cup
10 to 20lbs. - 3/4 cup - 1 1/4 cup
20 to 60lbs. - 1 1/4 cup - 3 1/4 cup
60lbs.+ - 3 1/4 cup+

20lb bag = about 83 cups

Seems like a good product. I contacted them a while back but unfortunately shipping was too expensive to where I live. However, one concern that I recently learned is that dry dog food may take a tole on the kidneys and may be a reason of the increased number of kidney failure in dogs around the world. Those who have the time (or who can afford their personal cook or housekeeper) are probably better off making their own vegan dog food.

You can mix water with dry food before feeding. The main thing for kidney function is usually increasing water consumption. Dogs are usually good not-picky eaters, so they're less likely to turn their noses up at the food you give them.

But dogs will usually drink enough if you make sure they always have water. The greatest danger comes from owners who let the water bowl run dry.

I would agree, along with a doggie vitamin.

Vegedog is a powdered vegan dog food supplement mix. They also have recipes. Shipping is much more affordable because it's a small bag of concentrated supplement, and the bulk of the food is provided by you from local sources.
