Ep. 19 - Feeding Our Fur Babies - a podcast by Sarah D. & Olivia J.

So you’re vegetarian, but what about your pet? Can you still be an ethical vegetarian and feed your pets meat? Can dogs or cats thrive on a vegetarian or vegan diet? In this episode, we explore these questions from the lenses of speciesism and biology, and we share our personal conclusions about what we would feed our pets.
