Peas instead of meat - is this justifiable?
Josef Kamphues, professor of animal nutrition at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover, said in an interview with
Spiegel Online
: "In principle, you can feed a dog vegan without harming it." or a
vegan alternative
, such as that sold by a Starnberg start-up *, for example.
It turned out that the
vegan diet
did not harm
the animals
.
For the "needs-based supply" it is not so important whether the nutrients are animal or vegetable in nature. What is important, however, is the correct interaction of the substances. Otherwise deficiency symptoms could occur.
