Ron Sep 11, 2007 2:00 PM Vegan Dogs?

 

 

 

Was wondering how to add photos to Photos? And in the Photos are those dogs vegan too? can a dog have good health on a vegan diet? Anyone?

 

 

 

I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small

Never thought about the problems of this planet at all

Global warming, radio-active sites

Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! No!

Why think of all the bad things when life is so good?

Why help with an 'am' when there's always a 'could'?

Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea

Outside of California, it's foreign policy

I don't want changes, I have no reactions

Your dilemmas are my distractions

I never looked around, never second-guessed

Then I read some Howard Zinn now I'm always depressed

And now I can't sleep from years of apathy

All because I read a little Noam Chomsky

I'm eating vegetation, 'cause of Fast Food Nation

I'm wearing uncomfortable shoes 'cause of globalization

I'm watching Michael Moore expose the awful truth

I'm listening to Public Enemy and Reagan Youth

I see no world peace 'cause of zealous armed forces

I eat no breath-mints 'cause they're from de-hoofed horses

You have to ask Peter about the photographs.

 

Dogs can be vegan, and healthy - also no bad breath.

I have two labs, both are vegan and both chose it. I gave them the

option of a high-quality meat food and a vegan food. I even let the

veg food bowl go empty for a few hours and they bugged me for more food

but wouldn't touch the meat stuff. After 2 weeks I decided they were

vegan. They've been vegan almost as long as I have been, one is 11 and

the other is 10. Both are so healthy and active I've had to prove to

the vet that they are really as old as they are! :) I have

consistently gotten comments from complete strangers (even the police!)

who stop me when I'm walking the dogs to tell me how pretty they are,

etc.

 

Dogs are super easy to have go vegan. :)

That has varied over the years. I was using Nature's Recipe, but I

found out about the different kinds of vit D, plus for some reason

the dry version of that made the male lab have serious

intestinal " issues " ...quite unpleasant. LOL I switched to Avoderm,

which has avocado. That was great for their coats, however, the

female developed intestinal " issues " ...still quite unpleasant. I'm

now using Wow Bow, out of New York, and it seems to be working

great! I also give them " extras " , they love bananas, carrots, apple

slices with some peanut butter, etc. They've never needed any

supplements. I do sometimes give them soymilk with nutritional yeast

and powdered kelp. As gross as that sounds they really love it.

LOL Really the only foods I won't let them snitch are onions and

chocolate. <grin> And they adore plain baked squash.

I was told by many " experts " that dogs should be fed a meat-based

diet. And that they cannot properly digest ceggie foods or a vegan

diet. I am so goign to try and get our pooches on a vegan diet now!! I

mean yes our dogs LOVE IT!! But when told by opur vet and

other " experts " we just shouldnt try a veggie or vegan diet *rolls

eyes*. But I think I will try it. What about Vegan cats? Our cats LOVE

vegatables, especially if they're steamed or cooked. But they get that

with their regular cat food. I wouldnt mind trying to get our kitties

vegan :D

Taurine is the big issue with animals. Dogs make it themselves, just

as humans do, which makes it a cinch. :) Depending on the dog, you

have to watch raisins, and never give them anything with onions or

chocolate...ever! My dogs love garlic, even with peanut butter, which

I think is pretty gross. LOL

 

I'm trying to transition my cats. With that you need to find vegan cat

food with the taurine in it. Others on the list will probably be able

to tell you better than I can. I have a cat who, if I'm not watching,

will snitch, and eat, my tofu, tempeh, and even brussels sprouts.

<grin> I'm currently trying the wow bow for cats, but my cats are not

impressed, so I'm going to look elsewhere after I'm through with this

batch...lol I've heard vegancats is a good place. :)

 

I've been told by vets, and even human docs, all the negatives of a

vegan diet, I switched both vets and doctors...lol The current vet has

done a battery of tests and actually told me he was impressed with

my " furbabies " . :)

 

My cats do seem to like nori, I made a batch of dog treats with it and

the cats were bugging me for some too...and they ate them! :)

I'm not giving up but the oldest cat, aptly named Princess Catitude, is

very stubborn. She doesn't even like the so-called good meat food,

just loves the cheapo nasty stuff...gross smell. She does love dairy

and, weirdly, corn chips. I'm hoping to transition her to vegetarian

if I can. lol

I got lucky, at least for here. The vet I have isn't vegan but respects it. He also is into aromatherapy, for people and animals. :)
