So, what's the problem, then? 426 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,999 Ah, well, not so much a problem but a big question. 427 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,479 So, we're vegan, and... Uh-huh. 428 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,359 ...we were wondering if a dog could have an exclusively vegan diet. 429 00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:22,279 OK, and do you just have Proshka, 430 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,879 or do you have other dogs at home as well? 431 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,999 No, we... we do have a big crowd at home. 432 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,839 We've got 15 dogs in total, 433 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,159 and I'm obviously buying a lot of meat. Yeah! 434 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,679 The good news is dogs can eat vegetables. 435 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,039 And you know what? It's actually a really good opportunity 436 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,159 for me to clear up a bit of a myth, cos people always go, 437 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,639 "Well, dogs are wolves, you know, they're carnivores." 438 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,999 They're not. They're actually obligate omnivores. 439 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,439 So, what that means is that they are meat-eaters, 440 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,799 but they also have an ability to digest plant-based protein, too. OK. 441 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,679 But this is where it kind of gets a little bit tricky. 442 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,319 So, this is what you're currently feeding Proshka, right? Yes. 443 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,959 This is actually what Proshka would need 444 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,759 over the course of the entire day, so it's quite a small portion. 445 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,919 When pondering a vegetable-based doggy diet... 446 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,839 So, Graeme, can you bring in my chopping board, please?
