Technically, vegetarian diets are completely safe for dogs. As long as they are getting the proteins and other nutrients they require, a German Shorthaired Pointer will be fine on a vegetarian diet. Half your dog’s meals should be grain-based, and the other half needs to be a healthy mix of vegetables and proteins. Proteins can be anything from lentils to cottage cheese. If you’re comfortable with it, cooked eggs are a great source of protein. Ensure that any other source of grain or protein you’re giving your precious pooch is not toxic to them. Even milk-based products like cheese can be out of the question at times. If you’re not up for making every meal, vegetarian canned food options are available at major pet stores!
