They won’t go blind as there are plant sources of taurine also.

I’m not going to kill millions of animals just to save one animal. I’m going to save the millions of cows, chickens, and pigs and do the best I can to feed the cat. The only way I’d be able to give a cat meat is if I find an animal that is already dead. That’s the only way nobody’d have to die. The alternative: vegetarian or vegan diet. There are many other sources of protein for cats that come from plants. And there are vegetarian nutrient supplements that can be added to your cat’s food in order to give it the proper nutrition without killing anything.

Exactly! I’m not going to kill thousands of cows, chickens, and pigs just to feed one dog. Why should I say that one life is more important than the other? All other animals’ lives are just as important as my dog. The only abuse here is killing animals. Those poor animals got killed just because “they aren’t as cute” as dogs and cats, so we can kill them. Ridiculous!! There are plenty other of ways to get protein without killing animals. It is NOT, in fact required for dogs to eat meat; they are obviously not going to hunt any chickens, cows, or pigs any time soon. It disgusts me that you would value one species over another.

Would I force them to be vegan? No. However, one of my dogs is vegan not by choice. I found out at age 1 she was not throwing up meat because anything was wrong with it. She was not able to digest meat protein. She has been that way since a puppy and is actually healthier than my other dog who does eat meat and is fighting cancer right now. Ive spoken to some of the top Vets out there and they assured me that a dog being Vegan is not going to harm them so long as they are still getting their protein. Studies have also constantly showed that dogs on Vegetarian or Vegan diets are much healthier. This is more so because the quality of our food is not the same as it was years ago. Even the Vets that care for my girls say my youngest is one of the healthiest dogs out of all the dogs they provide care for. Every dog I have come across that is Vegan/Vegetarian always lives to be much older and healthier than those who are eating animal protein. I still give my oldest chicken, bison and tuna and do not plan on changing that but I can say from experience having dogs with two different meal plans that my Vegan dog will definitely be living a happy, healthy life.

Hi Anthony,

I’d suggest contacting folks at V-Dog https://v-dog.com/ They can probably point you in the right direction!

Thank you for your comment!

It seems everything out here is for adult dogs. Any advice? Thanks

He is gorgeous, heathy*and happy. *He recently had a teeth cleaning and routine exam. The vet was entirely impressed with his condition.

Most of the commenters say a vegan diet for dogs is unnatural and unhealthy, but provide no logical basis for their statements. Maybe they need to examine their own illogical, immoral justifications for eating the flesh of fellow animals themselves.
