Lewis Hamilton has been slammed by animal experts for giving his pet dog a "dangerous" vegan diet. The Formula One champion recently claimed that a vegan plant-based diet had cured his eight-year-old British bulldog Roscoe's ailments.

The 35-year-old said his pet has been "fully vegan" since July and that he's now "like a puppy again" after suffering from skin allergies and breathing problems. But animal experts have warned that giving dogs a meat-free diet can actually lead to a deficiency in some vital vitamins that they need, Daily Mail reports.
