Dogs Need a Natural Diet
Description
To truly appreciate what constitutes a natural diet for dogs, one must first delve into the essence of what 'natural' signifies in the context of canine nutrition. The term 'natural' often evokes images of wild canines, such as wolves, hunting and foraging for their nourishment. This imagery provides a foundational understanding of the dietary needs of domesticated dogs, which are descendants of these wild ancestors. Dogs, inherently carnivorous, have evolved over millennia to thrive on a diet primarily composed of meat, complemented by a variety of other natural foods they might encounter in the wild.The physiological makeup of dogs reflects their evolutionary history. Their sharp teeth, strong jaws, and digestive systems are specifically adapted to process animal proteins and fats efficiently. Unlike humans, dogs have a relatively short digestive tract, which is designed to swiftly process meat and absorb its nutrients. This biological design underscores the importance of incorporating raw or minimally processed animal proteins into their diet, ensuring they receive the essential amino acids and nutrients that are vital for their health.
