Interesting article! Thanks for sharing. We’ve tried several different diets with our dogs, never vegetarian though. Both of our dogs do best with a natural, grain free kibble, based on fish and potatoes. Lamb is sometimes a good choice, too. But we found both our dogs became sensitized to it, and began vomiting frequently.

Thanks again for sharing!

The question “Can a dog be a vegetarian?” can only have one answer: No!

I’ve never seen a dog that did not eat meat. It’s their nature. I think it’s ok that a human is a vegetarian, but please don’t expect your dog to be the same.

Thanks for the information. A diet which contains protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals in a proportionate manner is considered a balanced diet. One must have a watch on what they eat.

Kelly, you asked some interesting questions. Here is what I found on the net after inputting a search for, what do dogs eat naturally? Out of the Earth Naturally says that canines in the wild first each the stomach contents of their kill which gives them their enzymes, grains and vegetables.

Then s/he eats the meat and some of the bone which provides calcium. They then suggest a raw diet of a mixture of raw, juiced veggies, raw ground turkey and softened oats.

I would check with my vet for ratio and portions.

Does this help?

I sure don’t want to be the one testing the gassy experiment. lol
I am quite curious though. I have a golden retriever and i hate the fact that i have to buy processed food for her to eat.
What is a dog’s natural diet? What do they eat in the wild?
I know for a fact that processed foods aren’t as healthy as natural food.

These experiments some good in theory, but changing a dogs diet suddenly can cause issues that will effect the outcome. Lets say that you all of a sudden go off of your normal diet and eat nothing but mexican food or chinese food. Your stool would be not normal most likely for a week or two. The same thing happens to dogs. Whenever you switch dog food or diets for a dog it is better to ween over.

I want nothing else for my pooch but the best nutrition as well. I also read on other blogs that some dogs are going green – that is opting for veggies and fruits.
