Hi matt,
I think veg food also can make pets healthier. but remember even veg foods have equal and even more energy than meat food. None of the pet food manufacturers indicate which animal meat is used and what part of the animal is mixed. Also they add about only 5-15% of meat in the pet food. we can use veg pet foods which has equal or more proteins than meat mixed foods. we can feed freshly prepared meat to our pets when we cook for us. Its made by the pet’s owners and it assures quality. also as everyone knows meat easily decays. manufacturers adds some chemicals to make it useful for long period and it makes meat unfit since meat should be eaten fresh to get the energy from it fully. Manufacturers add meat just to inform people that they add meat which dog needs and likes.
As one of our friend said dogs belongs to carnivores category. But an animal is said to be carnivores only if it kills some other animal and eats flesh. best example is lion which eats only fresh meat. but we don’t feed our dog with fresh meat. isn’t it? so, nothing is wrong if we feed our dog with veg food but as others said be careful with veg food and check whether it has all the essential nutrition which FRESH meat has..
Thanks.
