Are you open to turn your dog into a vegan? [discussion]

If you want to get specific, dogs are functional omnivores leaning towards the carnivorous end of the spectrum. Cats are obligate carnivores. There is no such thing as a healthy vegan cat or dog food regardless of what the companies marketing such foods are claiming, and one can make a fairly compelling argument that putting carnivores on a vegan diet consists animal cruelty. Vegan diets are not compatible with cats' and dogs' nutritional needs, and feeding them such a diet is cruel.
