Carnivores, including dogs, were designed to eat raw meat and bones. They have a special tough lining to their stomach and first part of their intestines that protects it as carnivores depend on raw meat, bones, and organs to survive in the wild. Our domesticated dogs are designed no differently than their wild counterparts, as wolves and dogs were actually reclassified as the exact same species (just two different subspecies).
