Do you know a dog or cat who loves a tasty vegan meal just as much as you do? If you’re looking to add vegan food to your animal companion’s menu, look no further. Several companies offer nutritious vegan dog and cat food products that your animal companion is bound to gobble up. By feeding a nutritious vegan diet, you won’t be supporting the rape<\/a>, abuse<\/a>, and violent death<\/a> that animals exploited in the food industry endure. After all, animals used for food<\/a> are individuals who experience pain, hunger, fear, thirst, love, joy, and loneliness just like dogs, cats, and we do<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can Dogs and Cats Be Vegan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes! With the right planning and care, your dog or cat can be vegan. Of course, it’s important to ensure that their nutritional requirements are met. Dogs require two amino acids, L-carnitine and taurine, which are usually added to vegan dog foods or can be added as supplements. Vitamin A, taurine, and arachidonic acid are essential to maintaining a cat’s health, and they’re usually added to vegan cat foods or can be supplemented as well. Many vegan cats and dogs enjoy excellent health. One remarkable example is that of Bramble, a 27-year-old border collie whose vegan diet of rice, lentils, and organic vegetables earned her consideration by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s oldest living dog in 2002. You might want to consider trying out homemade recipes, which you can find online. But if that isn’t an option, check out these cat and dog food brands that have vegan options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
