Thank you Dr. Klaper for cutting through all the myths, dogma and " traditions" we humans refuse to give up.
Dr Pitcairn's book is amazing.
As a Vegan, with several adopted/rescued Animals, I have struggled with this issue also; and have had mixed results depending upon the individual Animal involved.

my cat is squeezing my finger with her razor-sharp claws, as i watch this;)

Adopt from a shelter. Don't support breeders.

Maybe every dog doesn't thrive on a vegan diet, but I fed my dogs mostly vegan for several years and they lived a long time. My last dog died at 18 a few years ago.

I add about 1/3 vegetables to my dogs food. At least that cuts down on the meat rich dog food.

I know cats are obligate carnivores and can't survive without meat. So, I have no choice but to feed my cat meat even though I don't eat meat.

Can you please post a link to the cat food study that Dr. Klaper refers to?

My dog eats potatos, cucumber and pears

Dogs are not wolves. They have evolved. They are omnivores

According to The Vegan Society: 'We can be hopeful that in the future, all animals will live in freedom and without the restraints of humans. This includes companion animals.'
According to the Anti-vegan Society: We can be hopeful that in the future, all vegans will leave Earth & live in freedom on a planet of their choosing, thus ceasing to foist their trans-humanist experiments upon humans, their children & the cats & dogs within their care.'
