A detailed resume of Raw Feeding Cats and Dogs by   by J M Craig BVSc CertSAD MRCVS, Referral Dermatologist, Re-Fur-All Referrals This article reviews the reasons for feeding domestic dogs and cats a diet based on raw meaty bones.  Dogs, though able and willing to eat a wide variety of foods, exhibit numerous carnivorous traits, and are classified as carnivores.  Dogs have been shown to prefer foods with nutrient profiles much closer to those of a wild wolf diet than those of kibbled diets, raising the possibility that dogs fed modern commercial diets, low in protein, and high in carbohydrate and additives, might face physiological and metabolic challenges.  Cats are strict, obligate carnivores with characteristic dentition and a short digestive tract.
