Dogs refuse to eat vegan "meat"...

My girl LOVES carrots. We mix carrots in with her kibble when she is eating that.

Mine stole a carrot about half as big as her, dragged it to her crate and took a couple of days to finish it off.

Lol…what is it with dogs and carrots?

No idea. She will always choose a bone over a carrot, but she truly loves carrots.

I know that when I took my mini Aussie off all grains, her dog breath disappeared!

The one I have now, not so lucky. She gets no people food but plenty of meat and vegetables, and her flatulence is HORRIBLE as well! Gotta get this fixed.

My dogs like carrots, corn and watermelon but they love fresh snap peas and string beans straight from the garden.

They only thrive on a plant based diet because we artificially manipulate that diet to make it nutritionally accessible for them. If you put a pile of beans, potato’s, kale and lettuce in front of them, they could eat it but probably not digest it well.

She gave Bramble natural whole foods, like rice, lentils, veggies, etc. I don't see how that is artificially manipulating, it's just a different diet.

Do you know what IS artificial? A whole thread can be started on how most farm animals are artificially genetically manipulated to be something entirely different than what they naturally were. For example, chickens or turkeys who are bred to have such a large chest that they can barely walk. Cows artificially manipulated to create much more milk than they naturally do, which causes all sorts of painful problems and a shorter lifespan. I could go on, but it's getting off topic.

I'm not saying this is you, but anyone who participates in industrialized animal agriculture shouldn't talk about what is "natural" when the animals they eat (and their pets eat) are far from natural. It's gotten so bad that it is truly diabolical.

We're caretaking my daughters mini Aussie while she's stationed overseas, what a great dog all round with highly pet-able fur..

I once saw a bunch of coon dogs push a haunch of fresh bear meat into the corner of their pen and bark at it till we pulled it out and they loved fresh deer meat.

I swear I've seen dead bear basically melt into the ground.....The only thing that would eat them was the maggots and carrion beetles.

Well…maybe not for an apple….but a ball?

I worked with many a Belgian Malinois as military working dogs and they are incredible athletically!

Dogs are smart.

You're not. You'll believe anything. That could be spoiled bologna for all you know.

Beyond beef and Impossible burgers are both delicious on their own merits. They don't need to be compared to beef. You can eat one and say this is really good without also saying this doesn't taste like beef. It doesn't matter if it tastes like beef. Although they do kind of taste like beef. And they will only improve over time. Unlike Republicans.

(((our pet babies know what's good for them)))

they are not eating rubbish he-he!

Yeah, that's why some of them eat poop, or oreos, or highly processed cancer-causing junk like hot dogs, etc. Because our pet babies know what's good for them. he-he!

It is abusive to force natural carnivores to be vegetarian.

Someone should tell that to Joe Biden. Humans are natural carnivores.

My local Walmart had some marked-down closed-out vegan fake meat products in an endcap freezer yesterday. I looked at and thought "No fucking way am I gonna eat that shit."

So we can mark you down as in the anti-plasticized soy protein isolate / leghemoglobin camp.

I kinda had you figured as one of THEM people from the very start!

True, and if so that wouldn't be the first time someone did a set-up video like that.

I remember a while back someone on TikTok did a similar video that was total satire... but so many people believed it and thought it was legit. And then the funny part was that even AFTER she made a follow-up video clearly stating that it was a joke, people STILL kept commenting on it thinking it was real. She ended up getting what she wanted (tons of views) but a lot of people were totally fooled, and then looked like even bigger fools when they continued after she stated it wasn't real.

Dogs are naturally carnivores. You won't find a wolf or wild dog looking to eat broccoli or eggplant. Given the choice, they hunt MEAT. Domesticated dogs have developed a tolerance for a wider variety of food purely out of a survival instinct if nothing else is available and in large part from being around humans for 40,000 years.

When was the last tie you saw a dog loping through a corn field and taking down a corn stalk to eat an ear of corn?

Maybe if you wrap a New York Strip steak around it!

 

[toobfreak]

Your dog only represents herself. Good for them or not, dogs generally love corn on the cob. And peanut butter

Dogs are also influenced by what they see US eat or give them. If you give a dog something, if halfway palatable, it will probably at least TRY to eat some of it or try it because it thinks you want him to eat it or that it must be good if it came from you.

We already talked about this on the thread, I don't want to rehash the whole discussion.

As was posted earlier, one of the longest-living dogs in history, who was in the Guinness Book of world records at the time, was a vegan dog from birth. There are many other dogs who thrive on a plantbased diet. There is disagreement among the experts on how they should be classified. But the bottom line is, they don't need to eat meat to thrive, as Bramble and MANY other dogs have shown (more and more as time goes on.)

Btw, I don't want to get off topic, but it appears you and I have different worldviews. I believe what the bible says, in the very beginning we were ALL herbivores. So in light of that, the animals that changed and adapted into being carnivorous are not 'natural'....and one day they will return to what they were in the beginning. That's not my words, that's straight from the bible. Of course people can believe that or not, and probably most here won't. I believe it. (I wouldn't make videos on the topic if I didn't.)
