Dave,
I wasn't feeding a carnivore a vegan diet, and dogs are omnivores, anyway. I waas making vegan treats, simply because there were no animal products in them. No butter, no cheese, no meat, no egg. I made them this way because many dogs have food allergies to particular animal products, and I was making something that had none of the allergenic ingredients in them.
However, those threats were full of really great ingreds, full of EFAs from flax and other seeds as well as other healthful foods.

Heather,
Why would anyone wish to feed a carnivore a vegan diet?! Is it because the humans oppose animal use, or because they think dogs can subsist, healthfully, on such a diet. I am just curious.

Our alpacas love apples, pears, carrots, melon. Any firm fruit like that. I had a boy who also liked cookies and pepsi. He'd drink it from the can! It was a hoot! But I didn't let him do it more that a few times. :D
I also made some vegan dog treats, but the little dog wouldn't touch them. I'm not going to give the recipe because I'm sort of planning to start a side biz making them. :) But, the alpacas loved them as much as fresh fruit!

Thanks
