iZZY The Dog
Chris- Izzy's owner, has found that dogs would eat vegan three days a week, therefore, Izzy eats nealy all raw vegetables and fruits- excluding dog-toxic ones such as; onions, fresh garlic, oily herbs, grapes, tomatoes and nightshades, legumes (not including green beans/snap peas), and nuts. She also eats brassicas, although for some dogs they're toxic.
Izzy also eats rabbit and/or deer organ meats three times a week, with duck eggs once a week.
Izzy loves the antler sheds she gets to chew on, and the bison bone with marrow she gets every other week.
David, owner of Carmella, feeds her a diet of juiced (wheat)grass, pulp and all, with ground and sliced meats, and mashed/sliced avocado.
"Whole chopped and ground raw nuts and seeds are suitable, provided that they are not old and rancid. Soft coconut flesh is also good. Nut and seed butter are very sticky, so mix them with water or a juicy blend of veggie pulp or avoid them all together if your cat struggles to get them down.
Dried fowl and fish treats (cubes or whole small fish) and sea vegetable leaves, are appropriate. If your cat has a persistent flea problem there are yeast-based B-vitamin tablets for that—cats love the flavor and enjoy them as treats. Catnip, fresh or dried, is an occasional must.
Raw dry kibble is generally OK in moderation, however; it should not be offered regularly.
Do not feed your cat a diet with more than 25% raw cow/steer beef, lamb or other hoofed mammal. Again, in nature, cats would not likely catch and eat them, but the biochemical profiles of these foods are not very different from the natural primary food sources of cats.
Raw pork has too high of a risk of containing parasites to be safe in any amount.
Avoid factory-farm raised, anti-biotic inoculated, GMO and processed food. Avoid dairy.
Do not feed your cat a diet with more than 25% fish. In nature, cats would not likely catch and eat fish. The biochemical profile of fish is different, yet not necessarily harmful in moderation, than cats’ natural primary animal food sources (rodents and birds).
Raw eggs are OK, but not on an every day basis.
Bitter and sharp herbs, including garlic and onions, are toxic and can result in undesirable behavioral changes."

Homemade Vegan Dog Food Recipe:
Equipment:
1 very big pot
1 medium saucepan
Freezable glass containers
Wooden spoon
Measuring cup
Ingredients:
(In the large pot- grains and veggies)
9 cups of water
2 cups of rice (short brown or Basmati)
2 cups of organic oats
2 cups chopped organic celery
2 cups chopped organic carrots
1 cup chopped organic broccoli, kale or spinach
2 peeled and chopped sweet potatoes (medium size)
½ cup ground organic flax seed
½ cup organic sunflower, pumpkin, almond or sesame seed butter (tahini)
1 cup nutritional yeast
2 tbsp molasses
1⁄4 cup pure organic hemp protein powder
⅓ cup organic coconut, hemp, or flax seed oil
(In the medium pot- beans, lentils and peas)
6 cups water
2 cups frozen peas
2 cups dry beans or 1 can of beans
1 cup lentils
Directions:
Chop and prep your veggies – the celery, carrots, broccoli, and sweet potatoes – into big or small pieces – depending on the size of your dog(s).
In a very large pot, boil 9 cups of water.
Measure out 2 cups of rice, and 2 cups of oatmeal. When the water boils, add all the chopped veggies (except the peas), the rice, and the oatmeal. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and cook for about 20 minutes if using white rice or quinoa, and 45 minutes if using brown rice.
Your dogs may have a problem digesting the peas, lentils and beans, if so- cook them in a separate pot and blend them, to make them easier to digest.
When cooking dry beans, first boil them in a pot with water covering the beans for 3 minutes. Then, leave them to soak for 8 hours or more and then drain out the water (which from boiling for three minutes contains compounds that cause gas.) Boil the beans in new water, covering them, until they are tender.
At the end stir in 2 cups of frozen peas to defrost them. Let them sit for a minute or two then drain the water to then rinse with cool water. Add the beans and peas to a food processor and blend until smooth. If using a Vitamix blender, do this in two smaller batches using the tamper. Add water or almond milk if you need to get things moving.
