Billy Nicholles and I considered the environmental impacts of vegan vs. meat-based pet foods, in a Plant-Based News article. We considered the meat- and plant-based ingredients within commercial pet foods, and the role of animal byproducts. We even considered emerging alternatives, including cultivated meat and microbial protein-based pet foods. The results are clear: sustainable pet food alternatives offer environmental benefits which are both massive and under-recognised.
