Picky dog and unsupportive roommates

I'm a vegan and my roommates are all definitely omnivores. I have been trying to feed my dog vegan food, but since my roommate's dog's food bowl is in the open, my dog eats that and won't eat her vegan food. PLUS my roommates all feed her stuff that isn't vegan (even after I asked them not to). What should I do?!

That is really frustrating. If it was me, I would talk to your roommates and let them know how important it is to you. Do research so that you have answers ready for the inevitable criticisms. Do you think they would agree to feeding the dogs at certain meal times during the day instead of leaving the food down all day? That would be the only way to stop your dog from straying from his new diet. That way you can feed them in separate rooms?

uh how disgusting and rude. iget mad over stuff like that fdkjgndkfjgndfg um yeah talk to them, becuase first of all, it is recommended for training/stability purposes to feed your dog at certain timesand NOT to leave it out all day. that sends doggy the wrong message. tell them to STOP feeding yourdog food period, that is for you, as the owner to do. See im getting mad, ha and if it was me i would so angry and probably noit nice when i talked to them, but your not me and i dont know the relationship you guys have. What they are doing is deliberately DISRESPECTING you. its not even about the dog, its that you told them not to, and that they done care. its a problem. talk to them then let us know what happens!!!
