Do you guys have good resources on how to feed your dog vegan?

There are a lot of pages online that simply say “consult an advisor” who will calculate what your dog needs. I’m not bad in maths, I could calculate it myself if I’d knew what the dog needs. I can look into commercial dog food ingrediants but there are declarations like “minerals” without any further specificiations. Moreover, I eat a huge variety in differrent vegetables and food in general, yet my dog shall always eat the same according to vegan complete feed. Moreover, I can not properly judge whether a feed is good because the information is missing.

Where does the nutritionist get his information from? There must be someone who has studied the needs of a dog based on size and breed and created a formula such that you can calculate the servings.

I’ve looked into books on amazon and the comments are horrible. There’s nothing on libgen and google scholar doesn’t yield appropriate results.

    I honestly don’t know why people who want herbivorous pets choose to get dogs or cats. Rabbits and guinea pigs are lovely creatures. Rodents, birds, and certain lizards all make very good vegetarian companions, so why not choose one of those?

    I have a personal love for tiny screaming dinosaurs, but having also kept rabbits and guinea pigs I’d honestly recommend them.
