Man Backs Out Of Dog Adoption As His Fiancée Insists On Feeding It A Vegan Diet
Feeding your fur babies can be a puzzle, as each dog is a unique piece. While your friend's dog might thrive on a particular diet, it could spell trouble for yours. Your veterinarian holds the key to this puzzle: crafting a diet that suits your dog's individual needs. For the most part, domesticated dogs are carnivores, occasionally dabbling in omnivorous foods. Dr. Leigh, from Your Vet Online, highlights the importance of a diet that's not just complete and balanced but also tailored to your dog's life stage and health conditions.
But what about vegans and vegetarians? How can they feed their pets without harming animals? It's a tough situation, and our story sheds light on it!
A Reddit post asks, "AITA for backpaddling on getting a dog?" What's the story behind this question? Let's check out the full story below:
OP asks:
About a year ago, OP (M26) and his fiancée (F24) moved in together and have discussed getting a dog since then.
Now that it's within their budget, they were checking out shelters. However, the food became a concern.
GF is a vegan and wants to feed the dog only vegan food.
OP disagrees and wants to feed the dog whatever the vets recommend.
Story in short:
No doubt about it, this post went viral faster than a sneeze in a crowded room, and boy, did it catch everyone's attention! Here's what Reddit users have to say about it:
The irony...
Dogs love meat. Dogs need meat.
Sounds weird? Only because it is...
Dogs can have veggies, but not their main diet.
The saddest look of betrayal.
Redditor also shared their experience:
Clearly, this one was not a fan of peas.
Still, some dogs love vegetables.
Another Redditor shared their interesting story:
This is a good idea:
That's nature...
In the end, it's the owner's job to feed dogs right.
Veganism is a choice to avoid harming animals, but forcing a pet to follow that choice can harm the pet. The bottom line is, pets need the diet they've evolved with and what vets suggest.
