Furthermore, ardent fans of the singer-songwriter also lauded her decision of turning vegan and shared how dogs can be vegan too, as opposed to popular beliefs.

Obviously, this is if you feed them a proper plant-based diet", another , "just like humans - they (dogs) THRIVE on a plant-based diet. Her and nuggy are MUCH better for it. The longest living dogs are all vegan! And a quick Google search will prove so".
