Our animal companions are natural hunters and carnivores; just look at their ancestry. The dog at your feet (or on your sofa) has evolved from the wolf, and it’s digestive system is virtually the same despite thousands of years of domestication. They have very short intestinal tracts geared to the consumption and digestion of raw foods. Dogs are
considered "omnivores" as they eat a variety of grasses, berries and vegetables
in addition to prey. The cat on your lap is a true or “obligate” carnivore
(meat only diet) and is specially designed by nature to hunt small rodents and
birds. Her digestive tract, as well, is intended to assimilate raw meat best.
