Summary
Still, even if fully vegan diets for dogs don’t yet have the veterinary community’s universal approval, making modest changes in your dog’s diet is hardly likely to put him at risk — especially if the new foods are made of high-quality proteins like lentils and chickpeas and minimal-to-no fillers, like ground yellow corn and corn gluten meal.Plus, the reasons for everyone to cut back on animal products are stacking up.The threat that animal agriculture poses to the environment, what with its use of land and water resources and production of greenhouse gases, includes biodiversity loss, extreme weather events, decreased air quality, and waste lagoons.The situation isn't any different when it comes to the resources required to produce meat for pet food and, additionally, pet food in particular tends to require high-temperature (and thus high-energy) processing.
