But a new study has revealed that, in many cases, switching your dog to a more sustainable diet may have a bigger impact on the planet and farmed animals than changing your own diet.

This gap exists largely because a greater proportion of a typical dog's dietary energy comes from animal-based ingredients--about 34%--compared to around 19% for people. These figures represent global averages and vary by country. In high-income nations such as the United States, consumption is higher across the board. There, an average person consumes 24 farmed land animals annually, compared with 20 for a dog--a smaller differ
