I am vegetarian and my family feeds my pets food that has meat in it. Dogs and cats are supposed to have meat.
I hope this helps!!!!
:]

Yes a lot of the responsible people who live with animals and take care of them give them a diet containing meat but most of the time it is dry food. And usually if the animal needs meat it is fed to them but it isn't fed to cats because cats need the meat more.

Well, I have to say nobody really "owns" a cat, but getting past that...
I have lived with my cat for over 13 years, since she was 3. I have been veg about half that time. So she was pretty old when I went veg, not to mention I would never consider it. You see, she is a CAT and she needs meat. I am a human and I do not. So I try to buy the more natural foods to give her.

Some do and some don't.
Dogs do not require meat - they are true omnivores, like people. However, some dogs fed vegetarian diets have been noted to have some additional health issues.
Cats are obligate carnivores - they require the Taurine found in meat to survive. Supplements are available, but they are not the same and often lead to an unhealthy cat.

Dogs are omnivores not carnivores
I feed my dog vegetarian dog food
I don't like cats as pets so I don't know about them

I'm vegan and my cats get meat-based food. They need meat to be healthy. The reason I'm vegan is to be kind to animals, and I think feeding them meat follows that philosophy. :-)

I do. There isn't variety for dogs. Their food is basically all meat. Unless you feed your dog fruits and vegetable

Most of us do, but you can buy vegetarian feed for cats and dogs. I've seen it advertised in Vegetarian Times. My cat was very finicky, so there was no reason to take her off the food (meat) I was feeding her, as she liked it. If my cat was marching for animal's rights, then I would have bought her veggie food. I don't think the treatment of animals ever crossed her mind though, as she enjoyed the spare mouse once in a while.

I go with what is natural to them . . . and that means meat based. Although I never feed my cat and dog anything but dry food. Wet food is bad for their health and their teeth. Only top-grade dry food from pup and kitten on . . .
