I feed my dogs “Natural Life” Vegetarian Forumal sold in both the states and Canada. They have been on it for about a year and everything is great! It says on the packaging that it is suitable for all dogs unless it is a puppy or a pregnant or nursing mother.

Dogs and cats do need an amount of meat in their diets. I feed my coon cat an organic cat food and would do the same if I had a dog.

We’ve been feeding our dogs vegan dog food for a few years now. They’re both very healthy. I think they still fart occasionally though….

I asked my vet about that, and he gave me the same reply everyone here is saying about cats…. that dog’s NEED meat, it’s in their genetic makeup to eat meat and that it would not be good for the dogs to go veg or vegan….. I’ll need to do more research on this now, since I took his word for law…… if only for the gas…… oy!

Hmm… I have read this debate many times. We feed our dog a ‘whole’ natural (expensive, ha) food. To be blunt though, he does fart… a lot.. and it smells awful. So, perhaps we should think about a vegan diet. I will have to do a little more research.

In other related comments.. I love Alicia.. she’s awesome.. And so pretty!
