Andrew Knight videos

Most pet owners never think about the environmental impact of their furry friend’s meals… but the truth might surprise you! From hidden ingredients to unsustainable sourcing, your dog’s dinner could be taking a toll on nature ??.

In this video, we uncover the blind spots no one talks about and explore ways you can make eco-friendly choices for your pet without compromising their health. ??

? What happens when we shift the focus beyond humans?
? How do our pets fit into the story of compassion and sustainability?
? And are we leaving a massive blind spot in advocacy by ignoring the animals living right in our homes?

This video dives into the surprising impact of pet food, the health realities of vegan diets for dogs and cats, and what it really means to make advocacy more inclusive.

✨ The challenge is simple but powerful:
If compassion is the goal, shouldn’t it include all animals, not just the ones at the center of our usual narratives?

Recent research by Professor Andrew Knight shows that the dogs and cats living with us consume huge amounts of meat — with enormous consequences for animals, the environment, and sustainability.

? Key insights from the PLOS ONE study:

U.S. pet food accounts for nearly 20% of livestock consumption — globally, it’s about 9% ??.

Switching dogs and cats to nutritionally sound vegan diets could save over 7 billion land animals every year ?.

Dogs alone could spare more than half a billion animals annually, and free up land larger than Saudi Arabia ?.

Studies show that when properly formulated, vegan diets can support equal or even better health outcomes in dogs and cats ??.
