NBSV 116: Can dogs be vegan? A discussion with Laura Simonson of Virchew

You’ve heard the question before, you’ve seen all the opinions weigh in, and you’ve seen the spirited discussions on social media about it: can dogs be vegan?

Laura Simonson of Virchew [which produces plant-based meals and treats for dogs], addresses this question, the myth that dogs are carnivores, and speaks to the expansive research that’s been done on dogs who eat vegan diets.

Based in Vancouver, BC, Virchew is the first producer of 100% plant-based meals and treats for dogs powered by trail-blazing veterinary partnerships and nutrition programs: "Good for our dogs. Good for our earth. Good for our hearts” is the brand’s mantra, and Laura’s here to tell you why.
