Ok, I'm feeling brave-
my dog is vegan.
The vet says she is very healthy, and tells me to keep it up.
My family had several dogs growing up, and all of them loved to eat
various things- one loved carrots from the garden, another would beg
and beg for a bite of banana, my first dog used to graze on the
raspberries when they were ripe- he was very considerate, and would
leave some for me too. All of them grazed in the grass for weeds and
grass seed stalks. They all loved to eat leftovers (we had a healthy
diet, full of homecooked goodness, courtesy of my dear mom). None of
them had any health problems, they all lived their lives out to a ripe
old age.

Some dogs will eat absolutely anything. I had a yellow lab who would
run his nose up and down our tomato plants and eat any which were
ripe. This same dog ate a tray of Halloween candy (including wrappers
and sucker sticks) when we forgot to put the gate up. I had to make
both labs empty their stomachs just in case (with hydrogen peroxide in
broth), but the black one had eaten nothing. One Easter we got home
and looked for the eggs which we'd dyed. We found a part of a shell.
The yellow lab had eaten 24 hard boiled eggs.....and had no bad
effects from it. Once I fed the 3 dogs leftover lean turkey.....When
I got home from work, the kitchen was so covered with runny poop that
I could hardly walk through. I'll never give a dog turkey again! The
yellow lab ate part of a night light bulb and a rubber glove, too.
It's a wonder that dog survived all he did.
I tried to give my Australian Cattle Dog raw meat with bones.....lamb
necks and organic chicken thighs. I started adding it in addition to
her dry foods, but she had terrible gas. When I give her a raw egg,
she has gas if I include the white. I think foods like Newman's Own
organic or Blue Buffalo are well balanced. We've used Solid Gold but
my dog quit eating it eventually, and Innova which caused gas
problems, but I think they're basically good. I don't think there are
any decent dog foods available in grocery stores. Sometimes raw meats
are just not an option (traveling in a truck or rv) but I'm worried
about manufactured foods. Even the quality foods can accidentally
contain a contaminated ingredient.
