When I received an e-mail this morning with the subject title of ‘Great News!’ from Prof Andrew Knight, I just knew that it was going to be something special….and it is!!
Here is the e-mail content from Prof Andrew Knight where he shared with me some exciting further studies from America just released –
Linde A, Lahiff M, Krantz A et al. (2023). Domestic dogs maintain positive clinical, nutritional, and haematological health outcomes when fed a commercial plant-based diet for a year. 21 Feb. 2023. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.18.525405v1
Prospective clinical study in California of 15 dogs
Linde et al. (2023) (Vet with PhD) studied 15 dogs fed vegan diets (V-Dog ‘Kind Kibble’) for one year after previously being fed meat-based diets. They evaluated clinical, haematological (blood cells etc.), and nutritional parameters at 0, 6, and 12 months, including complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry, cardiac biomarkers, plasma amino acids, and serum vitamin concentrations.
* All dogs maintained their health status.
* Three who had been overweight or obese lost weight.
* Blood results confirmed the diet provided all essential amino acids, and for several nutrients blood levels increased.
* In some cases previous deficiencies reversed, without supplement use.
Great news to read yet more published papers done by top veterinary scientists!
(Please note that this paper is so recent though that it has NOT yet been peer reviewed as we had with all of the papers last year in this Blog post)

Why we should NOT be eating chickens
From the bioaccumulation of heavy metals when chicken are fed fishmeal; to the continued devastation of Avian Flu to people and wild birds…we should not be eating chickens

More proof as to why we should NOT be eating fish or feeding it to our pets! Yet again, even more reason to only eat plant-based natural pure foods.
