I've tried persuading my mom to get her dog off of old roy and onto a healthier diet... But because the lady we adopted him from(sanctuary) had him on some strange food. An all organic or vegan(or both) dry food.
But yet it seems no matter what brand I suggest to her, If it's not Old Roy, It somehow magically becomes "The food the lady fed him before and made his digestive system all messed up!"
rolleyes
She EVEN USED THAT WHEN I GOT HIM VEGAN DOG TREATS! o.0
Like really? And she was droning on in whole foods about how he's a carnivore and needs meat and vegan dog treats aren't good for him(it's oh-so-much-more terrible for him than that cheap crap that's not organic from wal-mart /sarcasm)and yet because it was a box of vegan dog treats, it automatically became evil... She feeds him apples... AS TREATS! Those things were vegan last time I checked! >_>
But yeah, he's not my dog, I just figured I'd get him some treats I'd be more comfortable giving to him. And she flipped out... It wasn't like i was changing his food or anything... and I am always taking him out to poo too...

 Dogs are omnivorous, so their diet doesn't primarily consist of meat. That being said, I think it's fine that a dog can be put on a vegetarian diet because it will be able to handle the plants and meat alternatives. Cats, on the other hand, should not be on a vegetarian diet. Cats are carnivorous, and feeding them otherwise is not good for their digestive system. If you catch a neighbourhood kittie eating grass, it's because it needs some bulky substance to keep its digestive system moving along smoothly so it doesn't absorb something narsty and get it sick.
