There isn't enough awareness among chicken owning public of the welfare

She had one client that was a vegetarian and therefor so was her dog, poor
dog was always ravenous, would steal any meat, and suffered digestion
problems which was always cured by the time he went home again only to
re-occur immediately.

Dogs are quite happy on a correct vegetarian diet.
My cousin feeds her dog (and fed the previous ones) on a mixture of raw
vegetables and a vegetarian dry dogfood.
Healthy, happy, very fit dogs.
It is unusual to see a dog regard a broccoli stalk as a treat though :-)

So (as with some vegetarians) it is not being vegetarian that is the issue,
it is eating a balanced vegetarian diet.
Sounds as though the dog was not being fed enough.
