I read somewhere that if I want to feed a cat vegan cat food, I need to (even if using a nutritionally complete vegan cat food produced by a reputable company):
1) notify the veterinarian
2) Get urine samples every 2 weeks or so for the first several weeks of the diet
3) get urine samples again more intermittently thereafter... like once every 6 months or so, even if the first several weeks of urine samples were OK
Anyone else who has fed or is feeding their cat a vegan diet know something about this? Is it really necessary? Also, how did it go for those of you who tried it? (see poll)
Related: There's no such thing as humane meat or eggs. Stop kidding yourself
