Dogs can eat vegan diets safely. They are not only inclined to eat meat naturally while felines are only naturally inclined to subsist off of meat so there is an important difference between the two.
Cat food that is meat based (not mostly plant based filler like Meow Mix) is still closer to what cats naturally consume than any plant so while not ideal it is still preferable.
Did you find the study mentioned innthe article? I did. The results are entirely based off the self reporting of the owners of the animals which creates a strong selection bias. I don’t think Dr Knight did great work here.
