Lewis Hamilton Says Bulldog Roscoe Is A ‘Different Dog’ Since Going Plant-Based

Lewis Hamilton has noticed significant health improvements in his companion bulldog Roscoe since switching him to a plant-based diet. The Formula 1 star, who is vegan himself, revealed that Roscoe, who is now 12 years old, is like a “different dog” compared to when he first adopted him. Hamilton decided to change Roscoe’s diet in 2020 after he suffered from health issues for the first eight years in his care, and has since seen improvements in his energy levels, fur quality, skin health, and overall wellbeing.

Not only has Hamilton seen positive changes in Roscoe’s health since switching to a plant-based diet, but he has also invested in a plant-based dog food brand named Bramble. The New York-based company creates wholefoods-based high-protein products formulated by vets. Recent studies have shown that well-planned plant-based diets can be safe for dogs and provide numerous health benefits. The British Veterinary Association has updated its guidance to say that it’s “possible” to feed dogs a meat-free diet, marking a shift in the perception of vegan diets for dogs.
