Jeremy Vine Channel 5 Should All Dogs Go Vegan?

[@gemmam3187]

Ahhh Arielle well done in bringing this to the mainstream market. I am honestly tired of hearing people say they raw feed their dogs, thinking it is thee best thing for their dogs, when it is the worst thing. We know plant based is the healthiest for our dogs and your website sells thee best food/supplements a dog could get. Others just need to wake up to this reality. Well done.x

Labradors will eat absolutely anything

[@hanumaniam]

Some very promising results in peer reviewed investigations that both dogs and cats have better health outcomes on balanced plant based food.

Raised my children and dogs vegan and they are thriving physically and mentally. Also my late father cured his dogs crippling arthritis with a plant-based diet. 💚💚

Forcing something, doesn’t make it true watch the video!!!!!

same old excuses trotted out

And let's feed cows meat! Ffs

While feeding a dog or cat a vegan diet is less harmful, it's like having a 'trans' toddler - we all know who's making the decisions and in whose interests they are being made.

[@lucid6891]

Feeding a cat a vegan diet is absolutely harmful; they're obligate carnivores and must eat meat to survive. Dogs are omnivorous scavengers and therefore may do well for a time on a vegan diet, however I'm certain that after a while you'd start to see health problems.

[@freshairkaboom8171]

It's not the same thing at all, supporting trans children is about the mental health of the child in question, not the lives of literally billions of animals.

[@carltaylor6452]

@@freshairkaboom8171 More bonkers ideology. There's no such thing as a trans child. There are kids with gender dysphoria who need therapy (a tiny number) and there are kids - mainly girls - who are victims of a social contagion stoked by influencers on the internet; and then there are the parents, some with transhausen-by-proxy, some tragically misled by ideologically captured medical staff. I don't really care what you feed your poor dog - it's not going to be the subject of a major medical scandal.

[@lucid6891]

Sorry but I think this is just cruel. Dogs are omnivores and not obligate carnivores but in the wild they would predominantly consume meat whenever possible. If you want to eat a vegan diet for yourself then more power to you; I was vegan for several years and it eventually made me very sick and malnourished. It took a while to get to that point, so perhaps dogs might do well in brief periods of eating vegan, but in the long term this will make them unwell. They can't decide for themselves and if you put a bowl of chicken and a bowl of this canned vegan stuff in front of a dog I would put money on them going straight for the chicken.

[@bazza5699]

funny how there's always someone claiming to be vegan who got sick on these comment sections, I'd be interested to know exactly what you were eating day to day for you to blame veganism for your malnourishment..

[@lucid6891]

@@bazza5699 I ate a very balanced and varied diet, a typical day would start with a smoothie consisting of banana, kale or spinach, avocado and peanut butter as a base, plus smoothie blend additives like spirulina and matcha, then whichever fruit I felt like that day, plus oat milk. Lunches were typically light since I spaced out smaller meals between then and dinner but they’d be some variations of large salad bowls with nuts and seeds, berries and meat replacements like smoked tofu, hummus, with rye bread or crackers, that kinda thing. Then I’d make whatever recipe looked good in a vegan cook book, or experiment, but that could massively vary from stuffed roast butternut or aubergine, pasta dishes with vegan pesto and feta, vegan pizzas, risotto, thai curries… I didn’t skimp. I felt amazing for months, but then I started suffering with fatigue and constant malaise, low grade fever, muscle pain and fainting. My blood work showed that I was anaemic and deficient in b12, vitamin d and calcium. Aka malnourished. I had been supplementing iron and b12 but they put me on high strength scripts plus thiamin but I didn’t feel better until I caved and started adding bone broth into my diet. It’s unfortunate but that’s just how it went.

[@lucid6891]

@@bazza5699 also maybe there are people claiming to have become sick on a vegan diet because vegan diets often make people sick

[@bazza5699]

@@lucid6891 responding to this one first, it's more likely people aren't getting a balanced plant based diet and this is the reason for their sick-ness, rather than eating a balanced plant based diet and getting sick because of it.

If you put a bowl of candy and a bowl of veggies in front of a human, I bet the human would go straight for the candy. 🤔Therefore humans need to eat candy.
