As Prof Knight’s latest studies made headline news that if all the world’s dogs went plant-based, it would save more greenhouse gases than all those emitted by the UK, land larger than Mexico, freshwater exceeding all renewable freshwater in Denmark, and would feed around 450 million additional people – more than the entire EU!

Dr Arielle Griffiths is a vet who turned both herself and their family dog fully plant-based just 4 years ago with a desire to find a healthier diet for our pets. She was so affected by the obesity epidemic that she saw while working as a GP vet for 25+ years and it prompted her to do research into nutrition.
