Other than meat-based morsels and croquettes! According to new research conducted by University of Winchestervegan foods would be the healthiest and safest for dogs. British researchers came to this (unexpected) conclusion after examining a sample of 2,500 dogs. These animals were followed up over a year.
Result: dogs that have been fed exclusively vegan food by their owners they had less need to be taken to the vet for various ailmentsas well as having to take fewer medications routinely over the 12-month period.

University of Winchester Professor Andrew Knight, author of the study, confirmed that More research is needed to confirm the findings and above all to understand the long-term outcomes of the vegan diet for dogs. What matters, as for us humans, is avoid DIY and make a meal plan with your vet’s advice, in order to avoid nutritional deficiencies. Surely the interest of many dog owners in vegan diets is a very topical issue. Already in 2020 the market agency Mintel published a report in which yes highlighted the boom in plant-based dog food.
