❓Should my cats and dogs go vegetarian too?

The answer's different for cats versus dogs, so it's worth looking at them separately. Cats are obligate carnivores — biologically, they have to get taurine, vitamin A, arachidonic acid, and a few other nutrients from animal-based food because they either can't synthesize these themselves or do so very inefficiently. Mainstream veterinary nutrition currently does not recommend a vegan diet for cats — the risks (like dilated cardiomyopathy and blindness) are well documented in the literature, and it's not something to try without a professional vet supervising the formulation the whole way through. Dogs are relatively omnivorous, and in theory can maintain a vegetarian diet under a formula designed and supervised by a vet or animal nutritionist — but that still requires very careful nutritional balancing, and it's definitely not as simple as just sharing your own vegetarian food with them. The general advice: pet dietary decisions should defer to a vet's professional judgment rather than simply applying your own dietary philosophy to them — after all, they don't get a say in the matter, and if something goes wrong, the health damage is often irreversible.
