Compare that to 49% of dogs on a typical regimen exhibiting health disorders and 43% of those sticking to raw meat. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Just 9% of dogs on a vegan diet and 8% of dogs eating raw meat required four or more visits to the doctor, compared to 17% of the dogs on a conventional regimen. <\/p>\n<p>Knight noted that the canines on a raw meat diet came out just ahead of the vegan group by some measures, but they were also younger on average. He additionally stressed that prior studies have shown that raw meat products are more likely to be contaminated with harmful pathogens.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers suspect that more overweight dogs are eating standard dog food, which tends to be more calorific than vegan options. And just like with humans, obesity is a canine killer, too.<\/p>\n<p>More data is needed to understand how dogs fare on a vegan diet beyond just one year. Meanwhile, experts stress \u2014 as with people \u2014 that those on plant-based diets pay close attention to their nutritional profile to be sure they\u2019re replacing nutrients that conventional eaters typically find in meat. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough we would not recommend it, it is theoretically possible to feed a dog a vegetarian diet,\u201d Justine Shotton, president of the British Veterinary Association, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2022\/apr\/13\/vegan-diets-are-healthier-and-safer-for-dogs-study-suggests\">told The Guardian<\/a>, \u201cbut owners would need to take expert veterinary advice to avoid dietary deficiencies and associated disease.\u201d\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
