I am sorry that when I feel attacked and treated poorly I strike back. I'm sorry I am just a moron and no nothing.

Cathy I am sorry I struck out at you but you hurt my feelings telling me my opinion was wrong multiple times. It's very hurtful and made me feel like an idiot and I feel like you take little hits at me when you can and I have tried to just ignore it and let it go but this was the straw that broke the camels back.

I get that you know a lot but you can't just tell someone there opinion is wrong when I can list multiple reasources. I don't expect you to believe me I just expect respect for having an opinion and for having my own resources.


I didn't "make" you feel anything - your feelings are your own. You were defiant about my warnings about bully sticks and teeth, yet I never said that you got "bit in the butt" when Callie cracked a tooth the way you had the audacity to say to me about a reaction my ELDERLY AILING DOG had to a VERY SAFE tick collar. I don't care for the validity of your "resources" about vegetarian diets. If you feel "stupid" that's your problem.


I am trying to help the OP who wants to feed a vegetarian diet to her puppy. She can do so safely if she has the right resources, none of which you provided.


A resource that I like, in addition to some mentioned by others here, is the website of ACVN veterinary nutritionist, Dr. Rebecca Remillard. In fact, I found this recent Q&A on the petdiets website by going to the "ask the nutritionist section" and typing in "vegetarian" into the search module:


QUESTION: I'm getting a new tcup poodle at 8 or 9 weeks old and would like to prepare a nutritionally balanced homemade diet for her. I am not very fond of meats not to mention raw meats! Is it possible to keep dogs on a vegetarian diet?

Answer: Yes, it is possible to feed a dog a totally vegetarian homemade or commercially produced pet food (canned or dry). There are a few commercial vegetarian pet foods available that have been shown to be complete and balanced according to actual AAFCO feeding trials. Please check that these foods are suitable for growth.
