Do you guys have good resources on how to feed your dog vegan?

There are a lot of pages online that simply say “consult an advisor” who will calculate what your dog needs. I’m not bad in maths, I could calculate it myself if I’d knew what the dog needs. I can look into commercial dog food ingrediants but there are declarations like “minerals” without any further specificiations. Moreover, I eat a huge variety in differrent vegetables and food in general, yet my dog shall always eat the same according to vegan complete feed. Moreover, I can not properly judge whether a feed is good because the information is missing.

Where does the nutritionist get his information from? There must be someone who has studied the needs of a dog based on size and breed and created a formula such that you can calculate the servings.

I’ve looked into books on amazon and the comments are horrible. There’s nothing on libgen and google scholar doesn’t yield appropriate results.

    Be advised, I’m the only active mod on this community and I just saw this thread. !vegan@lemmy.ml has quicker mod action (in my opinion) as well as less carnist trolling

      Thank you very much for jumping in. I just tried to ignore everything. Your actions make me happy to be on lemmy.

      I wasn’t here to discuss if it is possible or not, but how. And noone provided a reasonable response which would’ve lead to a real discussion. If someone wants to discuss it with somebody, they can gladly take it to the akc https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/dogs-can-adapt-to-a-vegan-diet/

      I’ll move to that sublemmy, thank you, again!

      It’s not even about ‘carnist’ crap. It’s straight up neglect to deny your CARNIVOROUS animal meat.
