Any creature, dog or human etc, can obtain a balanced diet being a vegetarian / pescatarian / vegan or whatnot.

But, dogs are descendants of wolves and are designed to eat a meat based, high protein diet (evidenced by teeth, shortness of GI tract relatively, acidity of stomach enviro, ability to consume raw meat etc etc) -- so for me (even though I haven't eaten meat in 25 yrs or so) a dog's ideal diet is high meat/high protein/low carb.

If anyone wants to pursue a vegetarian or vegan diet for an animal who is designed to eat meat, I would hope they'd consult a vet nutritionist to design a balanced diet for their kiddo.
