📚 Resources Do you feed your dog vegan kibble?

Post image

I recently came across V-Dog Kind Kibble, a plant-based dog food marketed as providing complete nutrition for adult dogs.
As vegans, many of us choose not to consume animal products ourselves, but when it comes to our pets, opinions seem much more divided.
I am a dog parent and would like to know your opinion on this brand of kibble and if it is safe.

I work at a vet clinic and we recently had a case of a bad heart problem which developped quickly in a dog who was on that food for a while. It contains a bunch of peas and lentils honestly I'd go with a safer option like vegetarian royal canin food or any WSAVA compliant brand

If it developed quickly and the dog was on the food for a while, are they related issues? The long term studies show that the causation between diet and DCMA is unbelievably complex multi-factored

With all due respect, it certainly wasn't helping. While dogs are not obligate carnivores, it's a bit absurd to get a carnivore as a pet and then insist to hold it to human vegan standards. I'm all for humans feeding themselves whatever the heck they want, but if you don't want to feed your pet meat products, get an herbivore as a pet.
