Quantcast Vegetarian StarAlicia Silverstone, Paul McCartney Help Fido Get 5 A Day

19th Annual Genesis Awards - Inside

Whether you like it or not, people pay attention to celebrities. And that can be a good thing.

A report done by the pet insurer company LV= claims more pet owners are feeding their dog vegetarian diets because celebrities like Alicia Silverstone and Paul McCartney feed their dogs vegan and vegetarian food.

Silverstone even went to far as to say her dogs don’t pass as much gas now that they’re vegan. If only that worked for people.

Interesting tidbits:

16% of pet owners follow the government nutritional advice for humans. Yep, five servings of fruits and vegetables a day for both you and Barker.

40% of pet owners feed their pets 3 servings of fruits and veggies a day.

The most popular vegetable choices for pets are carrots, followed by potatoes, and lastly peas.

While giving kitty and doggy fresh produce can be good, it’s always best to check with a vet before introducing changes in diet. And kitties are true carnivores-they’ll always need meat with their potatoes.
