Yes, they can be just fine (even healthier sometimes) on a vegetarian diet. Not cats though - just in case anyone was wondering. :)

The longest living dog 'Brambles',a Border Collie, lived to the age of 27 (189 in dog years) on a vegetarian diet.

Yes they can, in spite of many beliefs. Dogs are omnivores, and therefore can be vegetarian/vegan like humans can.

They would need a very specific diet, otherwise things could go wrong. Do not feed your dog on a herbivorous diet before seeing your vet.
