Unfortunately, many commercially prepared vegetarian dog diets contain very few vegetables, let alone the important leafy green vegetables, and are full of synthetic supplements that fill the nutritional gaps in their formulations. A red flag for a diet marketed as healthy and complete.
Since the diet of our companion dogs has changed so much in a short period of time, with processed food becoming the norm, they have seemingly lost their ability to deal with bones, with many reporting vomiting or dangerous obstructions following a meal of bones. In some respects, it is true that our dogs have lost their ability to deal with bones, but not in the way you might think.
