As I'm fond of saying in my outreach spiel, when Lewis Hamilton went vegan, he put his dog, Roscoe, on a plant-based diet - and cured him of arthritis! [Which is exactly what happened to me when I gave up all animal products.] Roscoe is now a healthy, 11yr-old bulldog - which is a bit of a rarity!
But anecdotal evidence is meaningless - what's needed is science backed evidence.
"From my published research in 2022, dogs fed a plant-based diet could live up to 18 months longer than those fed a meat-based diet."
"Evidence based published papers supporting dogs going plant-based."
And my good friend, Dr Arielle Griffiths, who is a plant-based vet, provides it:
Not just dogs - cats also benefit from plant-based nutrition
There are many recommendations on Dr Griffith's Facebook page:
