Most of the time a veg*an has a companion animal/pet that is a carnivore (lets say...a cat), mostly can live on a vegan diet, with the exception of certain supplements and let them hunt their own food. There are veg*ans that feed them with store bought animal based food. But, although most veg*ans for some reason have cat friends, a lot have dogs and other herbivores/semi-omnivores which can live on a purely vegan diet.

Tofu mice

There are a lot of vegetarian pet foods on the market. Every health food store sells them.

A human does not need animal flesh to be healthy or survive. That is not so with Cats, though some say Dogs can do without it.
There is no 1 size fits all in this world pets are not humans & have their own needs.

Cats are carnivores. Period. They need nutrients like taurine that is only found in flesh.

I'm vegan, and I feed my cat meat because cats are carnivores and they need meat.

Not feeding your cat meat is just setting it up for health problems in the future.

Dogs do OK on vegetarian diet, but cats will die without meat.

raw meat

We have a cat, and we feed him regular meat-based cat food. Cats are carnivorous and need meat (primarily the taurine in the meat) to be healthy. Dogs can process non-meat foods a little better than cats can, but they also do better on meat-based foods.

I can choose to be vegetarian. They really can't, because of the way their bodies work ...

i feed them food that has meat in it because they are not humans. they are carnivores and need the meat.

I feed my cat organic cat food. There is meat in there, but it also is organic. My cat is environmentally friendly :)

It's not healthy for most animals to be vegetarian. In my house the only animal products are day food (and a few medicines.)

I just read alot on this subject and feel much better with my choice to feed my cats meat. Cats need to eat meat to survive, dogs can survive on a vegetarian diet but may not thrive. My cats are carnivores so I feed them as such.

I feed my carnivorous animals Boca Burgers. A bit expensive, but the main thing is they are vegetarian.

the mice in my field... I reprimanded them, and told them since I am a vegetarian,,so shall they be.. they have been very bad kittys...

well i have a poodle mix named Scruffy.
i feed her normal pureina dog chow.
just because im a vegetarian doesnt mean she has to be
