Well, considering the dog isn't human , I don't think he/she celebrates Lent. However, since he is your family member and is probably treated like a child, which my dogs really are babied...lol, then of course, it is feesible that a person celebrating Lent who owns a pet, probably wouldn't feed the animal meat. But, on the other hand , most dogs I know can't stand vegetables unless they are cooked into something. THey mostly eat meat, so it would probably be safe tosay that, yes.. a catholic dog can eat meat on Lent.

The tradition of abstaining from meat on Fridays during Lent was started by the Catholic Church.
The rule of no meat during Lent originated in the Catholic Church, specifically through the Council of Nicea in 325 AD. The decision was made to encourage fasting and penance during the liturgical season of Lent. However, it is important to note that practices regarding abstaining from meat during Lent may vary among different Christian denominations.
In 2011, the rules for fasting and abstinence during Lent in the Catholic Church were as follows: Catholics were required to abstain from eating meat on all Fridays during Lent, including Good Friday. However, there were exceptions for certain countries or regions where the bishops' conference had obtained permission from the Vatican to allow the consumption of meat on Fridays. It is important to consult the specific guidelines provided by the local bishop or diocese to determine whether eating meat on Fridays during Lent in 2011 was permissible in a particular area.
