Some veterinarians and dog food companies are advocating that you huck the animal protein, and feed your dog a vegan/vegetarian diet.
Should you, and is it safe?

I home cook plant based meals for my 14 year old dog and she is super healthy for her age. We do a medical check up every year and never had a diet related issue. I think you should read the new studies and update your knowledge. I seriously expected more from you! I never give soy to my dog! My dog is 14 and has no obesity, arthritis, heart issues, diabetes or none of the causes of the death and most dogs. Old school vets and doctors always have a hard time with non traditional methods because they always go by what they were taught and that’s sad.
Hi, can you share your plant based recipe?? My 17 months dog is allergic to meat protein and is now on vegan diet. If you can share your recipe it would be a great help. Thank you
Hi. Yes, I second the above request. I use Famer’s dog nutrient mix in her homemade male and supplement with omega 3’s and probiotics. My chihuahua is now on a plant based diet. Open to recipes :)
@Paula Olliver yes. For me, please, too))
yes. For me, please, too))
Me too, however my almost 5 y.o medium size mix is in the late stages of dialated cardiomyopathy. Vet thinks might be genetic. He was on a vegan grain free home cooked diet. Mostly tubers and legumes (green Peas, chick Peas and lentils) and raw veggies like zuchini carrots spinach parsley cucumber bell Peppers and also seeds like flax pumpkin and sunflower seeds (sprouted). I did not supplement with taurine carnitine or omegas bc i just didnt know about the possible importance of it. Had i known i would have supplemented from the beginning. Hes not responding to taurine carnitine and omega being supplemented now which might suggest its more of genetic causes. Its hard, when you cant reconcile feeding your dog other abused animals and then seeing them sick possibly bc of that...has anyone been through something similar? The amount of doubt what ifs and guilt is really taxing.
I have 3 dogs on a vegan diet for over 7 years now. Yearly bloodwork is always as the vet describes it: perfect. A combination of vegan quality dry food and human food. I’m a vegan who survived freaking Covid without getting sick. My entire family has all the vaccines and got covid. The reason why I introduced my dogs to a vegan diet is the fact that no vet could improve or help one of my dogs with his pancreatitis. The vegan diet has stopped his pancreas from getting inflamed. Doc you lost me when you said all vegans look pale and sick. 😂 I wish you could see us. We are healthy and happy. 😌 I’m 42 and look like in my early 30s.
You prob didn't get freaking covid because you didn't take the vax well done
I’ve had 2 large dogs who thrived on vegan diets & lived to be 16+ yrs. old with no cardiac issues whatsoever. Our 21 year-old dog passed just last week & ate vegan dog food for a solid 10 years. No cardiac issues for her either. Our 2 vets raved about her overall “amazing” bloodwork.
Thanks for sharing Anna- apparently I need to be a little more open to alternative diets
@@VeterinarySecrets Also, I have utmost respect for you & the work you’re doing to help animals! I have learned so much from you!
@@VeterinarySecrets Please research doc! The longest living dog in a Guiness World Record ( for the longest time) was vegan from birth as raised by vegan parents. My 15 year old German shepherd has benefited hugely 10 years ago when I became vegan for ethical reasons and switched my dogs food for his health reasons. Never looked back, the best decision ever for myself and my dog. He is still very active, running every day, swimming and no health issues. My vet has confessed to me that in his 30 plus years of being a vet this was the first german shepherd that not only is 15 plus years old but NO Hip issues nor arthritis. Dogs are NOT carnivores but omnivores, and considering the absolute horrible quality of animal flesh that is in dog/cat food spiked with antibiotics, hormones, grow hormones, cut out tumours and other garbage your dog should not be consuming it at all. BTW your kitty is pretty overweight and that is not healthy for him:(
Will you share what you fed to them? I am looking at alternatives for my dogs.
@@rcar9115 Hello! We feed our dogs Natural Balance Vegetarian formula. We feed a combination of the kibble & canned options. We now have 2 elderly terrier/chihuahua mixes & they Iove their canned food! Halo Garden of Vegan peanut butter treats or boiled or baked sweet potatoes occasionally…Good luck! We’ve also tried Wild Earth & Halo kibble & the dogs loved it all, but our staple for years for all the dogs has been NB Vegetarian.
My dog had horrible skin issues. He's a 124 pound husky. He was getting pytopoint injections every 8 weeks. Antibiotics. Skin creams and every test you could give a dog. I took it in my own hands and switched to wild Earth dog food (vegan) and it cleared up all the scabs and itching. He lost weight and has more energy. I do put in chicken liver, beef liver, and chicken mixed in to his food. All organic.
My 2 other dogs don't have the allergies that he does they're also huskies.
I have to watch this video twice. Tula was so funny yawning I kept watching her instead of watching you.😂❤️Great job Tula! Pip's cameo❤️
Longest living dog was a vegan dog ...
Do you mind providing a link for that?
Yes, Bramble lived until 25 on a home cooked, fully plant based diet!
OK- thanks for sharing
My dog eats Vdog and she’s super healthy. I’m friends with many vegan dogs on ig too and they are all thriving!!!
Please feed them appropriate foods. Providing animal proteins greatly reduces the risk of long term health issues. Listen to what he says.
@@pawfootage you should check out Dr Pitcairn’s book on natural health for dogs/cats😉
OK and Thanks for sharing
@@pawfootage just wondering, you have data or just personal opinion? Because this video also is an opinion and no data was shown....
Yeah and my horse loves the steaks I give him too, he's never been healthier.
*sarcasm*
I have a yorkiepoo puppy he ia 3 months old. I wanted to change his food from kibble to homemade, what would be the best transition? And should cooked meals out of the fridge be warmed up every time prior to eating? Thank you!!
What do you recommend for longer shelf life on organic fruit treats?
Hello Dr Jones thanks for sharing this information good to now .
You are very welcome
I had two white rabbits as a teen. My brother had a Pit Bull/Saint Bernard mix
(I know???) We also had a rescued young red fox whose mother died after giving birth. They all had the most fun chasing each other around our big back yard. When the rabbits had enough of being chased they would hide under my dad's shed.
I still recall standing at our big dining room window watching and laughing when the rabbits decided to start chasing the dog and fox. When the dog and fox got tired of being chased, they would lay in a patch of dirt under a pine tree. Eventually it wasn't at all uncommon to look out the window and see the dog, fox and two white rabbits lying side by side panting heavily under the big pine tree.
My dad used to say that my mom could have single handedly screwed up the entire order of the Garden of Eden. I have a tuxedo cat who comes when I whistle for him. He does not respond to that "here kitty kitty" thing at all. I read an article in the news today about people teaching cows to poop only when using an indoor cow toilet. People in the comment section say they have healthy, happy long living dogs on vegan pet food. Nothing surprises me anymore. Nothing!!!
Thank you for your story, it makes me laugh and gives hope for good days. ( when the lamb and the lion will lay together....)
I believe, that in almost all issues there is more than one truth. What is good for someone, can be bad for someone else and vice versa.
God bless
@@kathidori8504 Yes, when they can lay down together. AGAIN .... :)
Love this comment
Unfortunately my Sammie had an inoperable liver shunt. He had no choice but to become a vegan. So, I went to the Merck Vet manual and used some of their recipes for him.
Yes, sometimes needed for medical reasons
Hey any updates on sammie I hope he is doing well! how has a vegan diet affected him and how is his liver been doing after this change in diet?
@@godagunda2570 Sammie seized after rushing him to the ER we opted to put him down. The bet advised it. Miss him
Diet worked great on him though
People care more about herbivors than there carnivore and omnivores lives then they should get a rabbit or vegan pet .
@@barbarawaitt2360 worked so great they died 🤔
Definitely. Nooooo dogs need meat
My dog LOVES pistachio nuts and will do anything for them...I shell them first but if she can get to the shell she will eat them too...are pistachios ok for dogs?
It's the only nuts she will eat!
Generally fine- just not too many as the fat can lead to issues
Great information thank you Doctor! ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
My dog is allergic to all meat protein and now she has urine infection, i started giving her vegetables with chick peas and i feel like it’s not enough for her please tell me what i should do about it i want my dog to be healthy
Vegan home cooker here. My experience:

I am a vegan but my animals eat their ancestral diets, I took them in so it's my responsibility to feed them what they need,
Me same. Im Vegan but feed my dog with meat.
I can't understand vegans who shame dog and cat owners for feeding them what they always ate
@@dadaismotienekasepta,
Because it's wrong.
All I'm hearing is "animal protein is easier."
Thanks so much for this
You are so welcome!
Ok...there's new research about the benefits of a vegan diet for dogs, especially for inflammation. So, I'm not doing it for ethical reasons.
My dog eats what I eat! No processed, no sugar. This is my second fur pup, last one lived 19years no medical issues, just shots and dental cleaning. Ollievander is 7 years same and me 55 years healthy weight, cholesterol etc… difference I now take vitamins.
So if the world came into turmoil and you could no longer get vitamins you gonna suffer basically. Or have to eat meat. Sounds like a pretty sound plan.
@@mrwang420 Or start producing them yourself like our ancestors did.
Thank you ❤️❤️
Remember all the fairy tales about wolves hunting cabbages?
I was wondering if you could do a video on homemade dog food for dogs with pancreatitis
One of the oldest recorded living dogs (28 yrs old) was vegan it's entire life.
Bull crap
@@mylon5227 Bramble in the Guinness World Record. Look it up.
@traciedowning8566 I think you'll find it lived to be 25 not 28 and no-one knows for sure exactly what it was being fed on and news flash this might be a shock to you but people LIE ! for all sorts of reasons
All my dogs went plant based years ago. The oldests’ made it over 18+ - all skin issues gone. Pugs & a Frenchie. I highly recommended it!!! They have been doing outstanding since & never regretted it! Not all plant based food r the same. Look for what is required for the health for ur dog
High animal fat and good quality animal protein, will always be best for humans, dogs, and cats. Sadly most animals are fed about as well as people. Low quality proteins like chicken and everything is cooked in high Omega 6 plant based oils with nothing but starches cooked in the same thing.
When people say they feel better going vegan it's mainly because they got rid of most of the junk, but still didn't replace it with anything good.
OK- I see many others have similar experiences
true and well said sunshine
@@MakisOfEquinox I occasionally eat seafood, fish and egs, no meat, no chicken for last 20 years. Never felt better. And my blood work looks great too :) Meat is overrated.
@@proshacot again anytime someone says that they don't think of the context of the garbage they ate before and thinking it was the meat that made them feel that way.
Where i am working they had a dog trainer that kept insisting that taurine causes all kinds of health problems in dogs.
My old dog has just been put on Wainwrights plant based complete.. He had elevated kidney and liver so I had to reduce the protein.. He loves it and stools are better than they have been for a few years... Also he is looking more healthier since he's been on it...
I can't get my dog to eat meat I've tried everything from tin to raw I've bought liver, chicken, beef, everything but she eats the sweet potato and rice and all the veg but will not eat meat I believe they should eat meat but today I'm thinking should I try a vegetarian diet, she will eat eggs so I will give her them but I'm at my wits end worrying about her, I've tried to give her nothing else as people say she will eat when she's hungry, she didn't eat for almost 4 days, I wouldn't put her through it any longer.
Good quality PEANUT BUTTER is protein ✔
Perhaps EGGS sometimes ?
Eggs are not vegan
Nut butter for an animal?
@@YeshuaKingMessiah yes occasionaly, I give my Border Collie a Ritz cracker /peanut butter treat. Dogs love peanut butter.
@@bonnievalls5037 I can see occasionally
Can you recommend me any shampoo for dog itching skin thank you
I have never thought that no meat for a dog was a good idea .. thank you for the information

both my Maltese do really well on a mix made from high protein pressed cottage cheese and organic tofu with added taurine and carnitine ,methionine .they gobble it up with a veggie plus vitamin mix from Dr Harveys (without added copper )
they both are prone to high liver enzymes
all symptoms of paw licking , horrible smelling poops , red beard stains , face rubbing excessive peeing, all went away as well
plus they have perfect blood test ta age 8 and 10.5
they run and play like puppies
i found the recipe in a natural health bible for cats and dogs
they both where previously on a fresh meat diet
Cottage cheese is not vegan and no dog and especially cats should be forced a vegan diet .
Acutal Study of Winchester University says: "Vegan diets may be the healthiest to feed pet dogs". What you say about this study?
Video on this in a few weeks
my dogs like gather vegan kibble its organic. i give them that as a snack not everyday for extra vitamins and amino acids...also rugi's multivitamin is very nice and fresh and high quality with only the chedder flavor no meat inside. i feed my dogs mostly plant based home cooked food and they are doing great. im vegan for ethical reasons and I feel so great eating plant based it really changed my mood to be more happy. and it gets better every year...10 years now...im a total foodie and never had an issue finding great plant based food. dogs are fine they dont need chopped up animals to be healthy.
This is animal cruelty. Please feed a species appropriate diet or get a bird.
@@monkeybearmax but slaughterhouses are not animal cruelty? you are confused!
@Olivia17 animals eat animals in the wild. It’s slow starvation. Responsible vegans reckognise this and do not impose their choices on their pets.
@@monkeybearmax not all animals are carniviores. your statement is false.
@@jamie615 and I never said they were. But you have dogs and they need meat. Why not get a bird which is more in line with your beliefs. ? Making a pet slowly suffer for years in your care is not ethical. I’m sure you mean well on some level but that’s of no consequence to your dogs. I’ll stop here bc I’m sure I’m not convincing you but I feel sad for your pets that have no voice.
Hi what do recommend for dogs with crystals in urine
Tks
Grain free
This is usually due to low moisture. Try to ditch kibble. Anything has more moisture then that.
Raw food and get rid of some veggies like spinach are hard for the kidneys
@@EtreTocsin he was on grain free decent quality
Dry and then can in pm
I am watching the ph according to the food given to eliminate
To see if there is one that he can tolerate
Which raw is decent
Thanks
@@wildog47 Thks he is on some dry decent quality and in the pm wet
I am testing the ph each day to see which may contributed you this and eliminate
They told me it could also be to much protein along with the water thing
Any good food out there
Better would be to have a video about ''how to keep a dog healthy on a vegan diet'' 💚
Hi and good point- that video will be coming up :-)
@@VeterinarySecrets That would be nice. I seem to have missed that one. Can you point me to it? Thanks!
Pets just need an adequate nutritional intake, and it's possible to get it from plants in a digestable form.
What about the study that was published in 2013 on Nature comparing the genomes of dogs and wolves? The study was mentioning that dogs can actually make use of starches. Wolves can not. Is the author aware of that study?
My 3 dogs are on plant based diet and thriving. In fact one of them had liver issues that's all so much better now. Agree to disagree here :)
Please feed them appropriate foods. Liver issues can creep up with certain dog foods. Feeding them home made meals can mitigate the risk. Please reconsider.
@@pawfootage agree, we need to learn about the oxalate vegetables are hard in the liver, my personal opinion
Well, for me it worked, as a human.
OK and Thanks
Thank you for your wise words and Tula instinctively knows what's good for her.🤗
Hi Doctor,here cow and sheep lungs are very cheap my question are lungs muscle or organ meat? How much to feed a dog,
Organ meat
So healthy for pets!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah thanks,how much to feed a dog?
Hi in general feed organ meat once/week. Lungs are clean and can be fed daily.
@@VeterinarySecrets thanks Doctor
@@peaceandlove5214 daily is fine if it’s small amount. The D balances out the high A in wholefood - unlike isolates, which is what studies use and then scare ppl…oh no high A intake is bad! 🤦♀️
Remember wild animal predators eat organs and fatty areas and leave the lean meat for scavengers unless starving.
Hey there, I’m vegan for ethical reasons and that’s why I want my dog to be vegan as I’m sure you can assume. Right now I use humainly raised dog food and mix it with homemade vegan dog food. I plan to take him off of dog food completely one day and make all his food myself, I’d like that to be completely vegan one day if I can but the better make the vegan dog food is there any supplements I should mix in the dog food and use for sure. I know they need extra taurine but that’s pretty much it
I do give my dog supplements/hemp oil /flaxseed oilMCT C8 oil and glucosamine supplements/one of my dog I also add green mussels powder to help his joints/knee , he have luxating patella since he was 5 1/2 months old . Doctor vet said surgery cost $8000 , I do my research and change his diet to homemade. He running around active like young pup , he is now just turn 2 , their vet does not approve to give homemade or raw . She want them on natural balance salmon sweet potatoes within 2 months on it . They both developed skin itchy/yeast /ear infection . My golden chew his back legs skin off until it became alopecia and raw . I am change their vet to holistic vet and will doing vegan homemade add supplements/calcium/MSM and other supplements to complete their nutrition balance

Please research Vegan or plant based food brands in your region, there are more ever growing number of brands one better than other. I use VECADO ( home town Toronto based) organic dry and can food for my 15 year old German Shepherd who is thriving on it. Mind you good quality food is pricy but you will save $$ on vets and your dog will thank you.
Hey! I like your videos before I see it only 😝Because I know that it is going to be good, And meat has all the 23 amino acids but vegetables does not
Vegan diet is the only thing that keeps my poor little pooch from having extreme all over itching…lamb is a close second…but still not as good as the Halo vegan diet…poor thing…
Try raw grain free diets. They are known to help reduce itching. Vegan diets are like slow starvation of nutrients there bodies crave which is so sad... 🙏
Get quality meats esp organ meats
Good point- for some dogs this is the only way they can stop itching
@@VeterinarySecrets
Figure which meat the dog is allergic to & feed it other meats.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Cannot serve two masters.
The dog that lived the longest was vegan (27 years)
Any mammal’s dentition shows what diet that they were created to eat. Can’t say I’ve seen too many dogs with large incisors, minimalistic eye-teeth and nice, big, flat molars. Likewise, people don’t have a mouthful of pointy teeth and nothing to grind plant-matter with ❤️
That's funny because I have a great set of natural pointed K9 teeth. When I drove school bus kids would comment on them and ask if I were a vampire. My dogs have good ones also.
Wild k9s east intestines full of plant matter if they need plant in the diet. My pit is now on thyroid meds due to thinking grain free (full of peas etc) was going to be healthy. It's always best to feed what would be natural to that animal.
As omnivores, ppl have both types of teeth needed to eat all foods. Omni. All.
Dogs can do ok on plants but thrive if given meat also. Cats will die without meat. Our agendas don’t matter to our pets. In the wild, they eat how they’re designed.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah, it is surprising what any kind of animal will eat if their normal diet is unavailable to them, too. In times of famine, all creatures adapt their diet to suit what is available to them, although it is not at all optimal… but it will keep them alive. I’m Jewish, but if the need arises and there is nothing else for me to survive on than what would ordinarily be taboo, then life trumps ideology. As George Harrison sang, “Whatever gets you through the night is alright.” ❤️
@@lindajohnson9282
I wouldn’t eat ppl but ppl have used that rationalizing to eat ppl.
Survive and thrive are the differences tho. Why starve an animal of what it needs? 🤷🏼♀️
@@samothco, dentition does not determine a species of animal’s diet; the species’ diet dictates their dentition. Just because someone has decided to adopt a vegan diet doesn’t mean that their dentition will change to suit their diet. And any animal will eat things that are not natural to their diet in times of scarcity of their normal foods; this is a matter of survival and nothing more. And you shot yourself in the foot with your statement; dentition is appropriate for an animal’s diet, along with the entire rest of their anatomy and physiology… that’s why there are so many different creatures, whose systems work differently in order to process the food they eat and, indeed, enable them to survive in their natural environment. Such is the infinite wisdom of Mother Nature ;)
Thanks. My dogs would never go for it. Only brown rice and boiled chicken
im a vegetarian but my pets are not
There are 62 videos on this play list re pet food. 3 of them are about cats. I cannot find a video on how to make cat food, only dog food. In fact, I cannot find much about cats at all. So please, many of us are cat owners and need help with our cats. Can you make more videos on cats? How about how to make cat food at home? I bought your supplement for cats a few times but the cats don't like it. I mix it in their cat food. I have a cat with ibs and a cat that had his teeth pulled out due to an autoimmune disease that attacks his mouth tissues. It didn't work. The teeth were pulled for nothing. I still have to give him the horrible tasting cyclosporine every night. I wish I never listened to that vet. She said it was the only way. My kitty's life took a big downturn since they took his teeth away.
the dogs of mine wich lived longer and healtier and with the better blood test results, are and were all of these I fed plant based, everyone over 15 years (25-30kg dogs) except one, one was 18 and stil jumped a little. Is it difficult to balanace? yes. More than the meat based? not so much. Anyway, for those who feed industrial food, it's already balanced and there are good and not so good food out there, as for the non plant based one. Anyway, my dogs would not and do not harm any LIVE chicken or lamb, they do bite and eat all sort of fruits and vagetables on the plants instead. maybe they are a bit far away from their ancestors, the wolves that are not strict carnivores themselves. P.s. I wouldn't eat a piece of soy like that myself and I don't feed any soy to my dogs, protein sources are peas, lupins, lentils, oat and raw rice.
Thanks for this comment. My 7 adopted street dogs here in india + 40+ street dogs fed daily are all vegan and blood reports are perfect. Yes I do make an effort to give them a healthy balanced diet but it is so worth it, they like the food, they are healthy and we aren't killing any other animals in the process, sounds pretty good to me
@@susheelayazhini9026 Thank you for being compassionate vegan and feeding your dogs Humane and healthy diet!
I m vegetarian and only easily available meat source in my state is eggs, chicken , fish and mutton . My 4 years old lab hates fish, chicken and mutton ...the only thing he eats is boiled egg daily . Kibble caused many issues in him so no kibble from past year . He eats whole grain wheat flat breads made fresh daily , porridge , semi brown rice with beans , peas , sweet potatoes , spinach, lotus seeds , flaxseed, fresh plain yogurt , bananas , apples , oranges ,
Chickpeas, kidney beans , green split gram ,moringa leaves , mint leaf and neem tablet . Result is no vet visits from past one year. No lose stools, no struggle with making him eat, no ear infections , no ticks due to neem. And his environmental allergies improving .
Thanks for sharing- clearly a pet parent like yourself can have good results, mixing an array of foods, providing adequate nutrients. I will be doing a follow up video
@@VeterinarySecrets thank you doc. Looking forward to your video.
I personally think feeding a dog vegan only is denying a dog its natural food and selfish to project oneselfs views on a dog.
Egg and spirolina
Good to know
I love your approach. I know hard core vegans who feed their dogs things they would never
Thanks
Absolutely agree Dr Jones , my 3 girls (Labradors) are carnivores, also I fed some wolves and same love meet, I can be vegetarian, but Mother Nature knows about our pets . Thank you …..Blessings 🇨🇦
Well said!
Dr. J: "...plant protein..."
Tula: yyyaaaAAAAAAawwwnn...
:D tula has never been cuter than eating that chewy stuff
:-)
I fully agree. I'm vegan but I shifted to being pesca-vegan so I can share the fish with my cat. Their physiology is not designed for a herbivore diet. I suspect that even the soy, lentil, or chickpea extenders in pet food might give them arthritis.
Cute tula she seems tired or bored lol 😂
:-)
It’s crazy to even consider feeding a dog vegan, I get it if your vegan and you choose to live that lifestyle that’s fine, but taking it away from an animal that came from wolfs is absolutely crazy and borderline abusive, if you can’t care for the animal, the way they need to be cared for than just don’t have a dog. Raw diet or lightly cooked meat diets are what dogs have been proven to live best on, if your dog has specific dietary needs or health issues I’m sure that a vet can tell you what the animal needs but no sane vet would tell you to have a vegan dog.
What about raw food, is it safe
Hi. Please see my videos on raw food and homemade food in the pet food playlist.

It's disturbing that a vet eats their patients and worse that animals are being tortured for food for dogs and cats. My cats are on Yora. Dogs it's a no brainer to feed vegan. Bramble was the longest lived vegan dog at 26r old. Learn more from Vegan Vet Arielle Griffiths. Try harder Dr. and go vegan.
Yora has no meat? Cats are obligate carnivores.
I doubt he eats cats dogs parakeets hamsters ….
Sweetie you should not have cats or dogs if you have a problem with them eating meat. Get a rabbit..they have a complicated system, because they're naturally built to eat that diet. Nature doesn't care about your beliefs. Because belief is just that.. something you believe in it's not a truth or fact it's just how you feel. You'll see. Lol try harder to starve yourself of important amino acids and such. Your teeth will turn to dust in a few years
Yes easier with a grass eating animal
#ThatVeganTeacher needs to watch this

If I fed my dog a vegan diet he'd probably be dead in about 2 weeks
I just saw an advert for vegan dog food. Ive been vegetarian since i was around 4, Im 53 now. I was put off when I found out what meat was. But I wouldnt dream of enforcing my preferences onto my animals.
The advert first mentioned our pets 'carbon footprint', to play on our ethics, though not a mention of the carbon footprint from producing soy! Then they did a 'taste test' which could have been any old kibble...we just have their word it was their food, and anyway, a dog would usually choose a chocolate cake over meat, but we dont feed them that either.
Then they claimed it was endorsed by vets, and we all know that vets are being bribed with money to endorse all sorts of absurdness, from annual jabs, to vegan dog food.
nice one doc for being a voice of reason in a very mental world
The soy that you so deeply care about is fed mainly to pigs and chickens, so the enviromental impact of 1 kg of soy is nothing compare to 1 kg of pig flesh that used 10kg of soy to be produce. "What about soy" argument is actually a distraction so ignorant people believe eating animals has a smaller impact by avoiding the fact animals need to be fatten up with food, its propaganda. So if you actually cared about those things you would be vegan, because it has the lesser impact, you could eat 9kg of soy and it would still be less soy than the 1kg pig. If you want to be scared about the vegan lobby be my guest but I would be more of tyson, nestle and Danones lobbing, you know those Huge multinational companies that depend on us keep paying for animal products to keep their money... no, its probably the 3% vegans, don't look up.
What about cats? A lot of vegan food are GMOs which are genetically modified
Cats can be vegan as well, their food is supplemented with tourin that they need. Vegan just like non vegan food can be both organic or GMO. Unless you are feeding your dog or cat an organic flesh (of another sentient innocent animal) that was fed organic plants before they were murdered, the flesh is 100% GMO with additional grow hormones and antibiotics.
@@evatomon6455 as someone who has had cats all her life and know a lot more about them you do no they can not live on a vegan diet! They can die! I am in now way shape or form will start my cats on a diet that will kill them! Cats are scavenging carnivores they take after their predacessors (yes I know I had butchered that word) so they need their meat to survive
No
That test make whit saco food for dogs AND show what have a animal proteín ando wich have aptotein soy, you must sorpraise!
When I was a vegan I fed my dogs a vegan diet. Not a good idea. They ended up with illnesses that I wasn't even aware of back then. Animal protein for our pets! Dr Jones, would you please talk about CLEAN MEAT? Lab grown meat. I would love to "chuck the meat" and still give my dogs a meat based diet, BUT the cattle industry is causing irreparable harm to our planet. It's so cruel to all the animals in the AG biz, whether cow, chicken, pig, or any other "meat" raised animal. The conditions they are subjected to is horrid, feed lots, crowded, they are sick and in pain. They are just a commodity and their treatment is cruel and unsustainable. There's got to be a better way.
Hi @chinookvalley - that is a good idea- obviously all 'meat' is not the same
Yeah, its called a properly planned vegan dit. The problem is you might be able to fed your dog a full raw meat diet but this is in a context where no one is doing that. If you are doing the raw fed and People started doing the same the prices of raw food would come up forcing everyone to look for a better option supply&demand. In that scenario we would have to either 1. Fed them vegan 2. go back to factory farming 3.lab grown meat (which it doesn't exist on the market, and the prices would have to go down by a lot, basically every human would need to be able to buy LGM before its on Pet food and even then it would be extreamly controversial to fed a dog A5)
You're in the comments just agreeing with anyone who mentions animal-based dog food. Why not talk about how to properly structure a vegan dog food instead of just pointing out the challenges? Also, you're just talking about and dissing soy... how many better options for plant-protien are there? A lot. Super biased video.
dogs are descendants from wolf. never heard a vegan dog. if you are into vegan thing, just get a rabbit.
my dogs eat raw meat, bones, kefir, eggs, a bit of fish, seeds, some nuts, herbs and fruits and veg- a lot of these. I am vegan. and..god if I was a 100% sure they can do great on vegan diet I would go for that..because it is a huge guilt dillema for me to kill other animals and support this bloody industry to provide meat for my babies.. for the moment I read and educate myself about vegan diet for dogs so thank you Doctor and all People here for their comments and links❤
Thanks Joanne. That all being said some animals are on vegan diets for health conditions ( ie dalmations and urate stones). In practice they did well, but on very balanced diets
Hey I totally understand your dilema and feelings! Here in india my 7 rescued adopted indian street dogs are all vegan as are the 40+ we feed daily. My dogs food consists of: lentils, rice, millets & veggies (sweet potato, beetroot, carrot, pumpkin, peas/beans, greens) cooked with ginger turmeric and cinnamon, after ready we add coconut oil to it. They love the food. I give them Omega-3&6 supplements sometimes, for snacks they eat fresh dates, raw carrots and coconut. Their blood work is all perfect, all are active and healthy. Flax oil is also good and oats. Hemp oil too. Initially it requires focus and effort but I guarantee its so worth it when you have your babies healthy with home cooked food, no prosessed crap and no guilty feeling from another animal dying for your fur babies to live. ❤️ You can message me if you have any questions or need help I'm on IG @susheelayazhini
@@susheelayazhini9026 brilliant!!❤ thank you so much!🙂 I will contact you soon. Thank you again and we are sending much love to you and all dogs!❤🙂
Dog ve a carnivorous More less the cat, but all the sacks food contein very very less meat, AND a proteín thats report ITS a soy ir other plant lm mexican vegan. You must to see oír country that Situation.
My dogs are on vegan diet with supplements and are doing very well. Of course one has to supplement their diet but many people use supplements for meat eating dogs too. My dog is 11 and has blood tests every year and the vet says that his results are excellent. Agree about soy, he got gerd from tofu. If dogs are like wolfs let them hunt for their food and don't cook meat with veggies for them 🙄 Dogs evolved just like us.
I don't know about you, but dogs and humans re two different animals.
Good for you? But I think you missed the whole point of the video which is to educate that putting dogs on a vegan diet is doable but challenging and not recommended. Additionally, your sarcastic allegory about having dogs go out to hunt like wolves proves what exactly? Obviously, dogs are no longer wolves, but they're genetically not far off. Ergo, all dog breeds still retain the capacity to reproduce with wolves. It's undeniable that Dogs are close relatives to wolves so it makes sense OP would bring that up when explaining they are facultative carnivores. I don't know why that seems to bother you. Just compare our teeth for example. Humans are biologically designed to eat more plant matter than dogs/ wolves. Thus it is biologically logical that they cannot easily subsist on a vegan diet as humans can. 🙄Dogs evolved just like us, but they're still dogs not "us".

You said it "in my opinion", where is the scientific evidence. This opinion is completely unsupported by clinical EVIDENCE , so your ideas on taste and texture and possible potential shortcomings are just you projecting your biases the same as vegans projecting thlers. Stick with the science; the evidence, man!
I would think insect protein would be a better choice eco/ethically. Dogs “in the wild” eat insects anyway. Vegan not a good option for any omnivore
They can technically “survive” on this, but they will never THRIVE. Also, this will do long term damage to them ….just like it does to humans.
So how do you call my 15 year old german shepherd dog active healthy no hip issues nor arthritis anything but THRIVING?
Im 55 years old and 10 years vegan, no meds, active and full of energy, feel better than when I was 20!
Or my nearly 20 year old Akita that could still do a six foot vertical leap and walk along the top of a picket fence with ease.
The moment you mentioned the "all pale looking vegan that has to take supplements, so that bloodlines are ok" I knew not to watch any of your biased broscience anymore😄
Thanks for disqualifying yourself before I had to watch too many of your videos.
We can be vegan but dogs can't!
Dogs should eat meat that’s what they are supposed to eat it should be illegal if you feed them vegan that’s abuse
Dogs are designed to eat meat.. Vegetarian diet will make them weak and sick.
Dogs definitely need meat!!!
We should NOT feed our babies bloody veggies! What is WRONG with people?!
Even though there are so many examples of dogs living long, healthy lives on plant diets all the 'experts 😄 ' say otherwise. These people think what they think and won't be told otherwise, even if the proof is right in front of them. "My dogs have meat, therefore......." 🥱
