I hope I'm wrong about this, but aren't dogs carnivores? That's what multiple veterinarians told me, when I wanted to put my dog on such a diet.

My mom is a veterinarian and she told me the same thing. I read blogs online of people saying their vegan dogs lived to almost 30 years old and that is what sold me on the change

There exists chain smokers who lived for 100 years. So I suggest any person to start chain smoking, if they want to become a hundred years old...
Why do you ignore the scientific statements made by your vet moms for some random statements in the internet? I call this animal abuse and think this should be chargeable.
The veterinarians of the old school have unfortunately little idea of vegan diet. The wolf from which the dog is descended only eats meat when he is in the pack and kills other animals for his pack. When the wolf is traveling alone, it feeds on mainly berries, fruits and roots. Vegan diet is great for the dog, as there are no animal remnants with flavor enhancers that give the dog alergies and other diseases.
Yes, but as wolves are never alone all of the time, they are not on a vegan diet at all. If this would be the most healthy way for wolves, nature (or god) would have made them this way.
You are playing god here and your dogs likely suffer from this. Don't punish your animal for some strange human believes... it is not bad or immoral to be a dog and eat meat!
Lol, dude. Those who feed their animals chemically packed food from the supermarket slowly but surely kill their dog. Dogs of this kind get illnesses, allergies and are permanent guests of veterinarians. It has nothing to do with playing God. I take responsibility for my dog and want him to live long and healthy. You wouldn't feed your kids shit if you know that it makes them sick, would you? Or do you send your kids to McDonald's a lot? Good Lord, get informed before you write anything.
Your argument seems invalid, as there is not only a choice between vegan food and "chemically packed food from the supermarket".
And - seeing the pictures of the OP - do you really think this food is not "chemically packed food"? At least it looks pretty much like industry shit in my eyes.
All right, thanks for your opinion. Have a nice life.
I will, but likely your dog won't. And that is the problem here...
"You wouldn't feed your kids shit if you know that it makes them sick, would you? Or do you send your kids to McDonald's a lot?"
To use a similar argumenting style: Do you feed your children on green grass (which would be similar to a dog being fed purely vegan)?
