Call the Vet - an insider's guide to dog and cat health

The Truth About Vegan Dog Food (is it really healthy?)


Listen Later

Do you want to feed our dogs the safest, and healthiest food possible? Do you worry about their environmental impact?

One thing is certain. The largest study to date looking into the health of vegan diets for dogs and comparing those fed a raw or conventional cooked meat diet has caused some serious waves.

I spoke to Dr. Andrew Knight, the study author, to find out more. Including:

  • The environmental impact of pet food
  • Dog food trends that are making the situation worse
  • A dog’s need for meat
  • Is vegan dog food healthy and safe
  • Addressing the limitations of our knowledge
  • How to assess vegan dog food quality
