Wolves with this concern just die in the wild and no reproducing or passing on.

Also we do not know that if she puts her little one on High protein that she will not see an aggression concern arise and then wonder from where that came from.
High test fuel in a hot running dogs a big mistake and if your not aware it is a possible and your dog goes from nice boy to killer.. that is a piece of info needed.
Or if I am reading this and thinking humm think I will switch to high protein sounds good but wait I have aggression concerns with my dog.. maybe I better go ask a vet nutritionist or my vet behaviorist first.
It is making sure the bases get covered and an understanding that not all things are good for all dogs and can have a bad out come if tried.

The domestic dog was actually reclassified as the exact same species as the wolf. The domestic dog is merely a subspecies. Their digestive systems are no different than a wolf's.

Yes, some dogs react differently than others...some have special needs. However, all dogs are carnivores and most should be fed a protein-rich, low carb diet. I feed a raw diet...meat, bones & organs. Carnivores do not need grains, fruits, or veggies..although a little won't hurt. They were designed to eat this diet. Unfortunately our society has been fooled into thinking our dogs have evolved greatly in only a few thousand years..and that's just not the case.

Also, where are you coming up with the idea that high protein diets cause aggression? I have NEVER heard of that, other than the myth that feeding a raw diet will make a dog "blood thirsty"..and that is just that..a MYTH.
