Well, I've scoured studies today and I have seen nothing which supports or challenges a veggie diet for dogs. Either my resources are limited or there is very limited research in this area. However, I have seen a LOT of studies which states that corn and barley is actually good for dogs and the meat ingredients in commercial dog food is thought to contribute to cancer as known carcinogens. I guess that is a topic for another thread...
So, OP, anyway..would like to thank you for opening up an avenue I had not considered past my views re: dogs as meat/plant eaters. It is unlikely that I will change Teddy's diet to a veggie diet only but I am now more aware of some of the issues re: commercial dog foods, etc.
You just never know what you're going to learn here, eh! |
