The classification of dogs as carnivores or omnivores is controversial, but it is clearly the case that dogs will thrive on a mixed diet derived from animal and plant sources, so they are not obligate carnivores. I'm not going to argue this any further, but I will provide a link to a good article that discusses this: https://thesciencedog.wordpress.com/...nivores-right/

With respect to feeding raw, I'm sure that there are good commercial sources of raw foods, and that a conscientious dog owner can create a healthy raw food diet. However, here is a link to a Skeptvet article that discusses the dangers of raw feeding with links to many additional articles pointing out the dangers as well: Raw Diets for Pets | The SkeptVet
