Best Answer

Dogs are mainly carnivores, means they need meat in their diet.

Another answer: Dogs do not have the digestive system required to live on a vegetarian diet. They neither have the four chambered stomach of a cow nor do they have the large digestive area in their large intestine like a horse. Instead they have a relatively small digestive system. They could not live on a vegetarian diet.
