It depends what you think of a vegetarian, a vegetarian can be a vegitarian because they don't like that taste of meat, or because they don't believe in eating other animals. a dog can be a vegetarian because they don't like the taste of meat.

Another answer

I have never seen a dog that didn't like the taste of meat or chicken and I have owned many dogs. But I suppose it's possible.

Under optimal dietary conditions, yes. However, you have to very carefully balance the dog's fat and protein needs to ensure you are providing all nutrients required. Dogs are not naturally vegetarians - they are primarily carnivores - so it would be humans changing nature to suit their own purposes to shift a dog from a meat-based diet to a plant-based diet.
