Having read a lot around this, and even just beyond the headline of the linked article, please be cautious with your furry friends.

The actual stance is “possible, but not recommended”

I’ve come to the conclusion that although I’m going to try and reduce my meat intake with a view to a complete switch to more sustainable options, I’m not going to mess with my dogs diet.

If a peer-reviewed study from an actual canine dietitian comes to light which confirms a plant based diet product is at least as healthy as a meat based diet, I’m happy to change my mind.

Given that a meat diet necessitates cruelty, the lesser harm is always going to be a plant based diet, the burden of proof should be reversed.

My primary responsibility is to the animal I am caring for, who has no choice but to eat what I give them.
