I think a vegetarian diet for a dog is complete crap. That is so unfair to subject a dog to a diet like that just because it's what you eat. Dog's are not the same as people in their dietary needs! They can't just eat veggies and be healthy and grains are really not too good for dogs. I try not to give Lacy or my cats ANY grains at all. What would a dog eat in the wild? Meat from an animal it kills. A prey-model diet is 95% raw meat, bones and organs and 5% fruits and veggies...No grains at all. The "average" lifespan for domesticated dogs is pretty low (12-15 years for small dogs) compared to how long dogs can live in the wild (up to 30 years). I just think it's really wrong to not feed your dog any meat - they need meat-based protein in their diet. Plus, what do you think a dog would rather eat - veggies or meat? I know my dog won't even touch veggies unless they are ground up in her food but she loves meat. I really don't understand vegan diets anyway - animals were put on this earth for us to eat... There's a food chain hierarchy and that's just how it works
