That's a good question I'm not sure of the answer, but i will say something, and if someone disagrees then we can point out different views and see what is more acceptable.

Firstly, Since as sikhs we do not eat meat, it would be foolish and hypocritical for us to sell/give/feed another human being meat.

However, If you would agree to the fact the human teeth , etc are not made to consume meat (Also mentioned by Bhai Sahib Bhai Randheer Singh) Versus the teeth of animals who do consume meat and eat other animals.

In this sense, It is logical to say we can feed the dog/animal meat (obviously not prepared at home, but i'm talking about dog food in tins/cans that you mentioned).

Another argument would be since it's dog food, and since dog's don't eat what humans can usually eat (roti with daal and other things) It may be malnourshing to feed the dog with just roti and other things we humans eat. Thus, it is appropriate to feed the dog what you may get off shelves from stores prepared especially for dogs.

I'm not very informed on the diets of dogs, but maybe you should look into the fact if dogs can sustain a healthy lifestyle without meat, etc. Just like humans, if so, Feed the dog something vegeterian. I suggest you discuss your options with a FEW vets in order to develop an informedand healthy decision for your pet.

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa, vaheguru ji ke fateh

If i have said anything wrong please think of me as your uneducated sibling who wants to learn from you. Please provide your views.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
