It's an excellent option. As a matter of fact some dog breeds must limit the intake of meat protein and rely entirely on vegetarian dog food. I had a Dalmatian, who died a couple of months ago and lived a longer than average life on Vegetarian dog food exclusively. High protein dog foods can cause a build-up of ureaic acid which can lead to painful bladder infections. You may need to sample a few vegetarian dog foods to find the one you dog prefers. FYI, my dog enjoyed 'Natures Secret' brand.

I don't think it’s a great choice. Dogs are muscled animals and they need the protein which vegetable based dog foods don't have.

I don't think most of the dog are not vegetarian they try to eat anything what they find.But by giving the enough training to your dog may be it is possible to stop eating from non-vegetarian.

Dogs are omnivores and not carnivores. Therefore, you can feed them veg food as well but it should contain all essential nutrients in right proportion. I would suggest you to try out drools dog food. You can shop it online at http://www.petsworld.co.in/dog-puppies/dog-food.html

Yes, but if you are unsure if the kind you found or are using is not safe feel free to contact your vet.. Most dog and catfood have more vegetables ground up in them than you may realize carrots.. are common. You can also learn to make dog food yourself after the petfood recall from china killed many peoples pets.. People all over started to make their own pet food to be sure it was safer..
