      I thought this was satire…but nope, lol.

      There really are people just as insufferable as you.

        Because you keep upping the standards to some platonic dog form.

        Let me just remind you, in case you forget: breeding animals is not vegan.

          Nothing you’ve said makes sense or is relevant.

          Did it sound right in your head before you typed it? Lol

            Ok, I looked back to where he got this article from and he specifically said he was going to post it and argue with people. In that context it all makes perfect sense.

            He’s just one of those people who looks for an argument. I guess he missed the whole ‘rescue dog’ part of my original reply.

            My rescue who will pretty much eat anything did not like the vegan option, but I’ve got a couple of other flavours to try.

            Reading into it more it seems the BVA’s stance on vegan diets is ‘possible but not recommended’, so I don’t think I’ll continue over an occasional change.

              Perfectly reasonable response from a responsible pet owner.

              There are plenty of arguments to be had without manufacturing them. This is just one persons poor attempt at trolling? lol either they are a loser or just not very intelligent. Likely both, but everything is a spectrum.

      What are you talking about? I’m saying a neglected dog suddenly getting a healthy diet has an amazing turnaround in overall health, including their coat.

      No thanks to your weird reaction I’ve been looking into plant based foods over the last few days and have ordered some from ‘The Pack Pet’ to try.

        “Zen” by addiction foods seems to be the winner among my lot. Not sure how easy it is to get outside of NZ though.

          Having read a lot around this, and even just beyond the headline of the linked article, please be cautious with your furry friends.

          The actual stance is “possible, but not recommended”

          I’ve come to the conclusion that although I’m going to try and reduce my meat intake with a view to a complete switch to more sustainable options, I’m not going to mess with my dogs diet.

          If a peer-reviewed study from an actual canine dietitian comes to light which confirms a plant based diet product is at least as healthy as a meat based diet, I’m happy to change my mind.

            Given that a meat diet necessitates cruelty, the lesser harm is always going to be a plant based diet, the burden of proof should be reversed.

              My primary responsibility is to the animal I am caring for, who has no choice but to eat what I give them.
