Yes, it's true, these are Lee Mack's very words speaking about how he feeds his own dogs Ludo the silver Labrador and Crossbreed Tilly -
“And I've said…and I know you're gonna get comments online about this so I'm gonna say it - I've suggested…wait for it, wait for this is the bombshell (‘cause I know what you dog people are like listening)
I have suggested a vegan diet and….light the fuse!
You whaaat? In the wild they eat giraffes!
Right because my vet said (I'm a vegan) my vet didn't say that, I already knew.
My vet said that it's perfectly fine to have a vegan diet for a dog. Now a lot of people don't agree with that. But I say to those people ‘did you do seven years training like my vet?’
And they say NO. That’s not my job
And he said it's absolutely fine to have a vegan diet for a dog
Now I know the argument
They're in the wild, they would blah blah blah….
But people are soon and happy to let go of the fact that in the wild they wouldn’t be sleeping at the end of a double bed, or indeed barking at a television just because a cat advert’s on!
So you know, pick and choose your moments guys to suit your arguments.”
