Questions this hub answers

Can dogs be healthy on a plant-based diet?
Dogs are omnivores and studies of nutritionally complete plant-based formulas report comparable health markers — always with veterinary oversight and a certified complete product.
What about cats?
Cats are obligate carnivores with strict taurine, arachidonic acid and vitamin A requirements; any plant-based formula must be synthetically complete and vet-supervised.
