There’s another post in another sub. In case you want to discuss whether it is good or bad please do it over there. I’d like to keep this about how to do it, not about opinions. https://lemmy.ml/post/16939802

Dogs are carnivores and are not well-equipped to handle vegetables. You don’t get to tell me to take my facts elsewhere because this is a public forum and you asked for what amounts to assistance with abusing your pet. And you are indeed abusing your dog by feeding it an inappropriate diet, period dot end of story (https://www.theveterinarynurse.com/content/professional/the-legal-ethical-and-welfare-implications-of-feeding-vegan-diets-to-dogs-and-cats).
Dogs require proper nutrients, it doesn’t matter where they come from. A proper vegan diet is nutritionally complete, and may even be healthier than a basic kibble diet. Is everyone feeding Pedigree abusing their animals too?

Hmm, your study was funded by ProVeg International: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0291214
Might want to find a more independent source there bud. I’m standing by the opinions informed by research without a clear conflict of interest until you do, thanks very much.
That’s nice. I knew you’d reject any source that disagreed with you. Have a nice day.
Oh yes, a clear conflict of interest isn’t a reason to question a source’s legitimacy. What could the company ProVeg International possibly have to gain from a study that says their products are safe to feed to animals, hmm, I do so very wonder. I’ll leave you to ponder that.
Sure, I’ll ponder that while you get your rocks off being antagonistic, small minded,and wrong in a vegan sub. Have fun!
Right off the bat, the url tells me that whatever you linked lumps in cats and dogs.
Cats absolutely, positively can’t be fed a vegan diet, they’re true carnivores.
Dogs are omnivores, though. They can and often do eat vegetables willingly.
If you bother to read, it does not in fact lump them in together. Yes, cats without meat will straight up die while dogs will for the most part eat nearly anything willingly. They will eat random gross off the road, they will eat things out the bin, they will eat their own vomit after hacking up the random gross thing they ate off the road. The willingness to eat the things does not mean it’s good for them, or part of a healthy diet. It’s true that a meatless diet won’t necessarily kill a dog (unless it’s a puppy), but it won’t thrive like it would with a meat-rich diet.

Why don’t you explain where the conflict of interest is?
Someone who promotes the idea that a con artist who lived 2000 years ago is god’s son isn’t a reliable source.
Right, so no actual objection, very good then. You’d have done better to stick to citing the sources you provided instead of trying to dismiss mine for such a weak reason, as those papers might at least be halfway convincing that there’s more study needed - after looking through the authors and funding to confirm there’s no conflict of interest of course, like say if a paper got funded by a dog food company that sells vegan products.
