I take issue with this, as my dog and many I know are vegan, and do
very well on the diet, which includes some raw veges.
Dogs seem to be like people in that they can adapt to a their
environment to a great degree.
They may adapt and survive but it is good healthy nutrition?? Dogs
are carnivores. In a perfect world those who do as you do and feed a
vegan diet to dogs would be charged with animal cruelty. Dogs do use
plants as medicines so I don't question their ability to benefit from
a particular plant. How sad that you would force your dog to follow
your lifestyle.

The page at http://dogsobediencetraining.com/info/learn_dog_wiki.htm
makes a good point. Although canines are carnivores, in the wild they
get a good bit of vegetable matter because they would eat the contents
of the stomach of their prey. If fed only meat, then they are not
getting this which would normally been a natural part of their diet.
Thus to duplicate what they would have gotten in the wild, they should
also be fed prechewed vegetable matter which is similar to what their
prey would have normally eaten.
