Some people are taking it even further, more or less encouraging their dogs to adopt veganism and even switching their diet to a vegan one for the sake of the dog’s health.There are some veterinarians out there that actually recommend this alternative in order to cure certain diseases or simply to improve the health of dogs with certain illnesses or deficiencies. There are vegan products on the market for your dog, but the problem is that they are not exactly the cheapest of alternatives, sometimes racking in serious bills and costs.That being said, we will provide you with a few recipes that will help you cook vegan food for your dog, without having to seriously injure your wallet in the process.Sweet-Potato Peanut-Butter doggy delightIngredients (the cup is the main measure here so use one cup at your choice for every ingredient):about 6 cups of water (make sure to be filtered)in a cup mix together rice and quinoa in equal parts1 cup of lentilspick 3 medium sweet potatoes or 2 bigger ones and slice them in cubes (about 1 inch)3 cups of peanut butter (make sure it’s natural)measure around 8 to 12 oz of apple cider vinegarabout 8 grams of hemp protein (you’ll need a scale for this)1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil (it is best if it is oil with DHA)finally, get some 200 or 250 mg of cranberry extractPreparation method:Start by bringing the water to a boil and add the potatoes, rice and lentils just when the water starts to boil.

However if your dog absolutely needs it, for obvious medical reasons, or if you absolutely want your dog to go vegan for whatever reason, make sure that neither you nor your dog rush head on into this.It is a rather slow process, fragile and risky, and if your dog shows any signs that the new diet is not agreeing with him or her, then you should immediately stop. Also, it would be a wise move if you were to consult a veterinarian and a canine nutrition expert, as well as taking your dog to a veterinarian regularly in order to check on his or her health and make sure that everything is all right.Regardless of all the debates and all the controversy surrounding this topic, it is, at the end of the day, you and your dog’s choice whether or not the vegan diet is an option or not.
