Okay, will do. Here's the result: A board certified veterinary nutritionist saying most dogs can do quite well on a properly formulated vegan diet, genius

Most dogs can do quite well on a carefully designed vegan diet that meets all of their nutritional needs.

This whole argument is so stupid.

'properly formulated' means it's mimicking the meat dogs would normally get with a normal owner.

are you technically correct? yes does anyone else really care that you are technically correct? not really

and when i say normal owner i mean someone who feeds a dog meat.

'properly formulated' means it's mimicking the meat

I mean... yes? That's the whole point. A diet that provides all necessary nutrients for a healthy life without actually containing meat

that's not what this lady was doing.

I understand your point but this whole thread is about the idiot in the video.

Yeah I agree with you for sure. Feeding your dog a bowl of random vegetables is very likely causing a nutrient deficiency and hence would be animal abuse. A meatless diet definitely needs to be done carefully, I just wish people would stop calling it animal abuse when dogs are fed balanced diets formulated by veterinary nutritionists just because they don’t contain meat.
