Just something on facebook that got me thinking..
Even though your a vegetarian or Vegan would you make your dog or cat have a meat-free diet?
Dogs can survive without meat whereas Cats could die without meat as it contains Taurine which is a vital amino acid to help them with their heart rhythm, immunity, vision etc and cats are one of few animals that cannot manufacture taurine and without it they could develop heart problem, immunity problems etc and even die.
I've known of some people who don't give their cats meat...
Just wanted to know your thoughts
