I had massive hesitations about getting a dog, both from a climate and an animal welfare point of view. Even so, it was the best decision of my life and my furry friend has helped me through some very rough patches. His main food is kibble with chicken, as the least climate impactful meat source and he only gets an occasional snack with other meats (which are probably mostly meat waste products). It is impossible to live perfectly for the climate and environment and this is the one sin I will allow myself as it has such a positive impact on my life and wellbeing.
