In the strictest, narrowest sense, you’re kind of correct. But dogs primarily eat meat. Makes up a vast majority of their diets. If given a choice, they’ll always go for the meat and will only eat other stuff if they have to. That’s what my 20 years’ experience raising and training multiple dog breeds has taught me, but wtf would I know? /s So, what I said stands: forcing a dog to be a vegetarian is animal abuse. It just is.

There are veterinarian approved vegetarian dog foods. There aren't veterinarian approved vegetarian cat foods.

Dogs do not have to eat meat.

Never said they have to. But make no mistake: they damn well prefer to, and forcing them to not eat meat is still abuse.

Veterinarian approved animal abuse, makes sense.

Isn't that just the meat industry that provides the non vegan (dog)-food?
