The trouble with Vegan dogs.......

Recommended Posts

The trouble with Vegan dogs is they don't exist!:P

They might eat a vegan diet, but if someone dropped a pound of ground chuck in front of them they probably wouldn't even look at you for permission.B|

Dogs are omnivors. They eat everything. Veges are good for them. I don't stop Patty from eating small animals that she has "hunted" or found dead like (like a bird on the beach). Dog food is terrible for dogs. More animals have had health problems because of the stuff. Since Patty has been eating only plants, she no longer requires shots for her arthritis and she no longer requires synthroid. She is more lively than she has ever been. The dogs love their diet, especially bananas, apples, pears, avocados, broccoli and squash.

Ok, my dog's not a vegan, but he does, in fact, absolutely love raw broccoli, carrots, lettuce, and nearly everything else that I give him except for herbs (just doesn't care for cilantro or basil :P).

So I can easily imagine that they'd eat an all vegan diet with alacrity.

Gotta make sure they get their nutrients as well.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Does the brocolli give him nose bubbles?

You said it yourself. Dogs are Omnivores. They are not vegans or Vegataians. Omnivores are not made to eat and digest with exclusivity. Their is nothing wrong with commercial pet foods. It is possible for Bones and Raw Food(BARF diets) to be the core of a complete and balanced diet. However, there is much more room for home made diets to have nutritional deficiencies and imbalances.

Allowing your dog to ONLY get a meat based protein from critters she catches opens you up to bones splintering in the throat, intestinal perforations and obstructions, E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella, and parasites. Many of the contaminating microorganisms have zoonotic potential which can make them a public hazard.

There is no concern that commercal pet foods create problems for dogs and cats.

I can bring you some great studies on Dogs and cats being feed BARF and vegartarian diets from major Universities.

I don't post but couldn't let this one slide by....

is there Vegan owners,

Definitely not for eating meat... :S no way]
You're right it's not for EATING meat . They are designed for tearing flesh away from animals, the back teeth are for the limited chewing they do, then mostly swallow flesh in chunks.
Whilst they are omnivourous, their diet comprises a lot of meat, and veggies are for leaner hunting times.

Now think about it, Squeak. Is there anything a dog won't eat, regardless of whether it is hungery or not?:S

it depends on the dog, but in short yes, there are many thing dogs wont eat.

Biologically they are opportunistic feeders/hunters. so they are built to be able to go a day or two without food.

They won't eat barracuda burgers. I know that first hand.

'Course neither would any of us humans...I think my uncles were just shitty cooks. :P
