Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 My 2 dogs, both age 11, have been vegans for 5 years (V-Dog dry food, Avoderm wet food, soy plain yogurt, flax oil and joint supplement combo every day). They are very enthusiastic about their food and do well on it. I am especially a fan of V-Dog for my canines because the company makes ONLY a vegan product and receives no profit from animals suffering. Bonnie Knight, S.F. P.S. Ajay's toddler + dog photos are so charming!
