I asked my vet what she thought about cats being fed a vegan diet, and she said she didn’t have a problem with it because they do that for cats with allergies already. Although taurine is a legitimate issue.
@finley@PolandIsAStateOfMind The companies manufacturing vegan pet food make frickin’ sure that nutrients like taurine are accounted for. Because if they didn’t, they’d have some nasty lawsuits on their hands and a PR disaster. People already look at them with extreme skepticism just for the fact that they’re not using meat in carnivore feed. But these products have been around long enough and studied well enough that it’s safe to say pets can be healthy eating them.
