Vegan Pets

Happy Thursday!!

I wanted to ask about having pets go vegan?  Particularly dogs.  I've heard it's just not a good idea for cats to go vegan.  However, I have also heard about people having their dogs go vegan.  Is that healthy for them?

From what I've seen online, yes it is.  They are omnivores which mean they don't eat just meat.  They like veggies too.  And from what I have learned from my dog is they may enjoy many fruits too!  My dog especially likes watermelon.  I have seen both pick up veggies that have fallen on the floor and take them to another place in the house and gnaw at them.  (Usually the carrots are gnawed and left behind).  

I have been thinking about switching my pups to a vegan diet.  The more I move out of going vegan for health reasons, the more I want to make a switch in everything.  And if it's safe for my pups to be vegan, then I want them to be.  I have a feeling they would lose a few pounds too!  (Which they both could really use!!)  And to think, if going vegan helps us humans out so well with things like more energy, sleeping better, wanting to exercise, better skin and so much more, what will it do for the dogs?  Softer fur maybe?  Sure why not!

So I looked around online and found a brand that sells vegan dog food.  They are V-dog: For Pooch & Planet.  Here is the link.  They sell other stuff for the dogs too like breath bones.  Personally I would need the 30lb bag which would cost $53 and the shipping is free.  Not sure about taxes though.  That would probably just depend on your location.

Other than buying the kibble, another option would be to make it myself.  I haven't been able to look at a lot of recipes yet.  As I mentioned earlier, I'm not exactly sure what it is that dogs need.  I know what people need, but not dogs for the most part.  If anyone has any good recipes for dog food post them in the comments!  If I find anything too I will post about it.  Ideally, for me, I would like to make something that I can make a lot of so I can freeze it and use it as necessary.  
I hope everyone is having a great day!  The week is almost over!

Did you work out today??
