Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 We feed our dogs, a Scottish Terrier and a West Highland White Terrier, an all-vegetarian diet. The Westie is actually allergic to US, to human dander and so on, and has been given a series of shots to desensitize him. During all this we were advised by our veterinarian to place them on a vegetarian diet. This also eased the skin problems. We feed them PetGuard Vegetarian Feast canned food and occasionally dried veggie dogfood, along with One Earth Natural treats of various vegetarian varieties. They thrive on these and yes, they are hunting dogs, very prey oriented and energetic. Hope this is of some help.
