Where do you think all those nutrients in meat to come from? They ALL
come from vegetables. The meat you are feeding those dogs is made from
vegetarians animals, who have synthesized all of it from the vegetable
foods they eat. ALL nutrition comes from the vegetable kingdom

Contrary to the popular belief, wolves do not eat the contents of the large
prey's stomachs. And dogs are subspecies of wolves.
According to Dr. David Mech who spent several decades studying wolves and is
world authority on them, they open the stomach, shake the contents out and eat

You can feed what you choose to that is your right. But common sense

Hi Brooks,
I agree with what you said but also want to point out that there is nothing in
the plant matter that the dogs can not get in meat, bones and organs. Meat,
bones and organ meats are the complete nutrition that dogs need to thrive.

Hello Barbara,

I take issue with this, as my dog and many I know are vegan, and do

Your adding the real food to your dogs diet is great but I will say that adding

Dogs being carnivores have no need for carbohydrates at all.
