[QUOTE="thesilentone, post: 7801065, member: 6194"] [URL='https://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/national/uk-today/19382417.vets-issue-urgent-warning-dog-owners-deadly-parasite/']UK pet owners[/URL] are being warned they face fines of up to £20,000 fines and a possible jail sentence for not feeding their four-legged friend the correct diet. It comes after a [URL='https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0210806']study[/URL] found more pet owners are feeding their pets a [URL='https://www.theoldhamtimes.co.uk/news/19569440.mcplant-burger-mcdonalds-launches-first-vegan-burger-uk/']vegan diet[/URL]. Cats need meat to survive as they can develop health problems if they are not getting the right nutrients, including taurine, Vitamins A and B, arginine and arachidonic acid. Certain breeds of dogs will struggle on a plant-based diet because their short guts make it difficult to digest high-fibre foods. Which is why UK law protects pets from missing out on what they need to consume through their diet. The UK's Animal Welfare Act outlines how people must ensure their pets get a “suitable diet” and “meet all of your dog's nutritional needs”.
