Vegetarian Diet For Dogs Recipe


Vegetarian Diet For Dogs Recipe
Dogs are somewhat omnivorous and can get along on a vegetarian diet if it includes ample dairy products. Do not feed a meatless diet to cats, however, or they will develop deficiencies in several nutrients. From Rodale's Book of Practical Formulas.

Interesting, thanks very much.


Despite popular belief- dogs and cats are not meant to digest or consume vegetables. Their GI tract cannot handle to digestive needs required to breakdown high quantities of fiber in an all veggie diet. Dogs and cats are carnivores! They require high levels of protein. With advances in the pet food industry there are many healthy, balanced diets out on the market for pet owners to choose the right diet for their pets needs without the time consuming task to make a diet for their beloved pet. Let’s face it- it's a busy, fast paced life and we as a human race have trouble eating healthy ourselves- why make it harder for our beloved pets to eat a healthy balanced meal. Please consult with your veterinarian before making any dietary changes to your pet’s diet. Please consider that many pets may have sensitive stomachs, allergies to certain products, and the effects with certain medications that your pet may be taking.


My neighbor has a dog that has kidney problems, and was prescribed by a vet to become vegetarian. The dog is healthy and lively, and has been a vegetarian for 6 years. However, the dog lives on vegetarian dog-food and not human food. I am skeptical about feeding plant fibers to dogs that their digestive systems may not be able to process.
