My neighbour says her dog is vegetarian. Is that healthy?

Pet Planet ~ Welcome to Pet Planet!
Dogs are natural carnivores and therefore should derive their protein from meat sources rather than grains. Unless allergy testing shows a verifiable and specific problem digesting animal protein (this is very rare) a high quality diet using meat protein is preferred. Cereal proteins are low in certain amino acids, animal protein is clearly superior. A complete animal protein contains all of the essential amino acids required by a cat or dog. Cats cannot thrive on a vegetarian diet at all.
