Is a vegetarian diet safe for my 3-month-old Dalmatian puppy?

I don't recommend raw diets. There is a chance that bones could cause a GI obstruction, splinter and perforate the GI tract, and bones do break teeth. In addition, there is the risk of getting sick from Salmonella and E.coli from the raw meat to both Luther and you. Royal Canin has a Dalmatian Junior food for puppies from 2 months of age to 15 months. It is specially formulated to meet a Dalmatian's nutritional needs. Other brands of food I recommend include Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps!

This is an extremely bad diet for your dog, you must give hima lot of meat, in fact meat needs to be the majority of what he eats. you should not give him any milk, vegetables are fine (excluding onions, garlic).

It's best to get him a food that is meant for large breed puppies. The brands that put the most research into these particular products are Hills and Royal Canin. There is a lot of misleading information on the front of many brands of dog food, but the most important thing on that bag is a tiny bit of writing under the guaranteed analysis called the AAFCO statement. This statement tells you what actual research went into making the product. Below is a link to an article that will help explain this more and give some other info about feeding your dog: https://www.petcoach.co/article/what-to-look-for-when-choosing-your-pet-s-food/ I hope that helps and all is well with your pup.

For the first year of life, puppies go through fairly extensive growth and development, particularly in terms of skeletal maturity. Diet plays a huge role in this development and nutritional deficiencies can cause a host of lifetime problems. I am not aware of any vegetarian diets that are formulated for puppy growth. As a result, I would strongly recommend feeding a traditional meat-based large breed puppy diet for at least the first year of life. After that time, you could consider switching to a vegetarian diet, such as Royal Canin Vegetarian or the Purina HA prescription diet. Enjoy your new puppy!

Royal Canin makes a commercial vegetarian diet that I think is the best option since it is balanced. Otherwise you would need to have a veterinary nutritionist formulate a balanced diet, which can be difficult when you are eliminating meat. This website has nutritionists on staff and can help formulate a diet: they use their own vitamin supplement to balance the diets and are based in the United States but I believe they will ship internationally.

People food and veggies are fine as a treat in moderation, however Nala Jai should be on a balanced puppy diet at this point in time to help her grow and stay healthy. Several brands are available that are great such as Science Diet, Purina, Eukanuba, etc, and many offer puppy formulations specific to your dog's breed, age, and size. Fresh veggies such as a piece of carrot, broccoli or some lean chicken are all great as treats, but should be used in moderation and not as the primary diet.

It's not the best choice for a dog as dogs are natural carnivores but if you do decide to feed him vegetarian food chose a good quality ready made diet (kibbles) such as Benevo or Yarrah for example.
