In the wild, dogs nibble on all sorts of vegetation, and if we were to feed our dogs only what they could kill in the wild, we'd only be feeding them very small birds and an occasional slug. |
I'd like to see the sources of this evidence, because i can site sources that say otherwise. This is a statement greatly disputed within the barf and prey model community.

Did these scientific studies evaluate the effects of raw animal fat/protein on "small breed dogs" within a raw diet?. it's a big misconception that raw meat is very high in protein. Also you cant compare the protein in kibble to the high quality complete protein available in raw meat.
