Raahat Animal Hospital, Dehradun

We have working hours but some patients become family.
We've watched this dog grow from a baby into a senior. Tonight, he battles cancer, we're standing by him through a late night blood transfusion.

It feels like the world today is obsessed with two things: AI & protein.
We've become so focused on asking, 'Am I getting enough protein?' that we rarely ask, 'What did an animal endure to provide it?'

Most people are surprised to learn that dogs can thrive on a properly formulated plant-based diet.

Yet the question isn't whether it's possible. The question is whether the diet provides all the nutrients a dog needs to live a healthy life.

As veterinarians, our responsibility is to follow the evidence, monitor outcomes, and do what's best for our patients. We need to ensure that a well-planned plant-based diet meets all the nutritional requirements.

If dogs can thrive without harming chickens, cows, pigs, fishes, or other animals, what does that mean for the future of companion animal nutrition?
