Dogs are classified as carnivores, but many dogs can thrive on a vegetarian
diet. There are several vegetarian and even vegan pet foods available which are
supplemented with nutrients unavailable in plants. Your dog might do very well
with one of these diets, or even with a balanced homemade vegetarian diet.
However, you should watch your dog carefully for problems such as a dull coat,
dandruff, low energy, diarrhea, or other symptoms. It can take months or even
years for a deficiency to develop.

Vegetables are highly digestible by dogs after cooking. Baking is best for
nutrient retention; but boiling is fine, if you also use the water in the food.
Dogs love most cooked vegetables, but may prefer them cut into small pieces or
pureed. Whole cooked potatoes make an excellent snack. Source: Animal Protection
