What happens if you do not feed a dog meat?

If the dog’s usual food has enough protein, not feeding meat has no effect. But if the food is low in protein, or the dog has parasites, gut disease or other issues, it can become malnourished from no meat, leading to thinness and low immunity.

Therefore, supplement meat appropriately, choosing high-protein meats like chicken breast, chicken thigh or beef, and avoid fatty pork or chicken skin.
