I have seen at least 11 studies for dogs and 4 for cats supporting the evidence that a plant-based diet can be healthy. But one must buy the pet food that has the essential nutrients such as b12 and taurine.
For cats? Are you sure? I read the exact opposite
Recent studies in the last 3 years point to the contrary as synthetic taurine, b12 and vitamin a can be provided in a plant-based diet through the form of reputable kibble.
