Dogs, in fact are omnivores and can, like humans, do well on a vegetarian diet. Cats, on the other hand, are obligate carnivores and generally do poorly without meat. Our golden of 15 years ate just about everything that came her way and loved her veggies! I have not personally raised a dog vegetarian, but know a few people who have and their dogs did well and, in some cases, had long term health problems clear up.

Dogs are carnivores. Period. They do not have the dental work to chew vegies, nor the digestive track and enzymes to break down the thick cell wall of plant material. PERIOD. If you have something against meat eatting, then don't have a carnivore as a pet. Your cute fluffy pup would be grinning ear to ear if he got the chance to rip up some other cute little animal and consume it. Vegitarianism is a potentialy healthful lifestyle for omnivors like people and much more sustainable for our growing populations. But for cryin out loud leave your dogs and cats outta it. They should be eatting foods with MORE meat. Not none. Why must people push their lifestyle choices on their pets? Dogs are carnivores. Period.
