Seriously all, the definition of the word Omnivore is an animal that can eat and survive off of plants and animal protein. I understand the concern, but I know many dogs who eat vegetable based diets and are completely fine, if not healthier than dogs who eat cheaply made animal products. They live longer and healthier. If you feed Cats diets of plants, yes it's animal abuse, because Cats are Carnivores. Dogs are Omnivores!

Just because dogs are omnivores doesn't mean their owner should play god and decide that they're now vegetarians just because they're against killing chickens.

Playing God: Giving a dog a diet that doesn't depend on unnecessarily harming animals

Not playing God: Unnecessarily harming countless animals to match your preference

You claim dogs are omnivores but also that they can eat like a herbivore and be completely fine. LOL

'An omnivore is an animal that has the ability to eat and survive on both plant and animal matter.[3] Obtaining energy and nutrients from plant and animal matter, omnivores digest carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber, and metabolize the nutrients and energy of the sources absorbed.[4] Often, they have the ability to incorporate food sources such as algae, fungi, and bacteria into their diet.' - from Wikipedia. Omnivore means that an animal can eat like a herbivore or carnivore and be completely fine. I understand your confusion, and accept your mockery.
