Maggie Menu

On the menu for Maggie tonight is puréed sweet potato, puréed brown rice, sprouted organic tofu, chia seeds, and digestive enzymes. Does she look excited? She is!

This dog does not look excited, this dog looks malnourished.

The diet you are feeding your dog places a huge burden entirely on the pancreas, forcing it to produce large amounts of amylase to deal with the starch, cellulose, and carbohydrates in plant matter. (yes, even with your supplements) The carnivore’s pancreas does not secrete cellulase to split the cellulose into glucose molecules, nor have dogs become efficient at digesting and assimilating and utilizing plant material as a source of high quality protein.

When this stuff sits in the pet’s intestine (yes even with your supplemented enzymes) it not only irritates the lining of the bowels but also provides the perfect warm, wet environment with plenty of undigested sugars and starches as food for bacteria.

I respect your choice in leading a vegan lifestyle, but please do not force this on your pet who does not recognize the difference, your dog absolutely needs a healthier diet or it is going to develop health issues and I guarantee you, will not live as long as it could otherwise.

fuckin animal abuse

your dog cannot be vegan you sick fuck

how can you even tag this as “vegan dog”, youre screaming to the world that you are knowingly depriving this dog of what it needs.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This sort of thing should be illegal and people feeding dogs and cats vegan diets should be charged with animal cruelty (excluding for rare medical reasons.)  

i don’t think that dog could look less excited

I agree, this is animal cruelty through and through.  This poor dog is likely going to either die from malnourishment, or from the diseases his body will be too weak to fight off.  Just because YOU, a human whose digestive track is equipped for both meat and plant matter, chose to be vegan, doesn’t mean you can force it on a naturally carnivorous animal.  You want a vegan pet?  Get a hamster or a rabbit.

amen to this, that is exactly what ive been trying to say. it’s even worse with cats, who are more carnivorous than dogs. (wolfs and coyotes can eat non-meat material, but only when necessary and as a supplement, not a diet). i dont care how you argue that being vegan is good for you, you are NOT your dog! it is naive to assume that because dogs are “mans best friend” they can be treated as if they were people. they deserve your love and respect, but they are animals with different needs.
