Do you guys have good resources on how to feed your dog vegan?

There are a lot of pages online that simply say “consult an advisor” who will calculate what your dog needs. I’m not bad in maths, I could calculate it myself if I’d knew what the dog needs. I can look into commercial dog food ingrediants but there are declarations like “minerals” without any further specificiations. Moreover, I eat a huge variety in differrent vegetables and food in general, yet my dog shall always eat the same according to vegan complete feed. Moreover, I can not properly judge whether a feed is good because the information is missing.

Where does the nutritionist get his information from? There must be someone who has studied the needs of a dog based on size and breed and created a formula such that you can calculate the servings.

I’ve looked into books on amazon and the comments are horrible. There’s nothing on libgen and google scholar doesn’t yield appropriate results.

    Surprising misinformation here. What happened?

    Dogs and cats can be healthy vegans. But you do need to plan their nutrition if you cook yourself

      What happened?

      I went to bed and didn’t lock the post. I’m the only active mod and my timezone seems to make it so that I am sleeping during these kinds of posts.

        Not sure we should lock posts. Dude had a legitimate question.

        Unless we just add this info to the sidebar?

          We shouldn’t have to lock posts. I’ve appointed new mods such that there shouldn’t be any issues when I’m not watching.
