I am a vegan. While my dogs were alive they ate meat as well as veggies. It seems to me that a lot of vegans don't realise that it's a scale and not binary. The whole philosophy of veganism is "as much as you are able" so I guess there is extremism everywhere.

I bought some veggie dog food once and when i gave her the choice she would prefer the veggie dog food like 9/10 times. But it was super expensive in comparison.

I make veggie dog food for my dogs, and add in a half pouch (or can if I cannot find the pouches) of salmon on Monday morning. They like the old kibble when I accidentally forget to thaw a bowl of the plant based food, but they absolutely go nuts for the fresh food, salmon or not. They love their morning banana.

I use a variation of that recipe, basically I add a lot more oats and rice, and make a quadruple batch for my 3 × 70 lb dogs. Their coats are shiny AF.

I also make it in a slow cooker, so it takes either about an hour and a half to prep, make and cleanup, or about 6 hours total. The best part is that I'm now spending about 60% of what I used to spend on kibble.
