>they're carnivores!

Dogs are omnivorous, like humans. Even wild wolves get some food from plants. Dogs don't need meat to survive, but they have to be fed a carefully balanced diet to be vegetarian (which I guess is what this product tries to do).

Cats on the other hand are true carnivores. They need meat to survive. So when you hear stories of people feeding cats a 100% plant-based diet, that actually is abusive and will lead to their death eventually.

Dog is order Carnivora. Their digestive system differs from let's say a pig or a human. Dogs can survive without meat (unless cats, that's right) but they cannot strive without it.
