Wolves do not eat organ meat. They are "carcassivores" -- they eat meat and bone. That's it. Period. The exception is organs of very small prey that they eat whole, and of course dirt and whatever else that gets on the carcass. The same has been observed of dingoes and this goes for our pet dogs too.

Dogs don't need vitamin C. They manufacture their own. Don't know the specifics of K off the top of my head, but dogs are not humans. They may be mammals but they do not have our biology.

My dogs eat mostly chicken leg quarters and pork neck and they're thriving. I'm saving incredible amounts of money on food and vet bills.

If you want more info look up the research of Dr Tom Lonsdale that has been suppressed by dog food companies for years. His book Raw Meaty Bones has everything you need to know.

Did you ever consider how our dogs were fed before kibble existed? Or why we don't feed pet snakes and lizards some meal replacement?



You did see that the comment I was replying to was basically "raw meat works for us too - no supplements needed" right?


> whale skin, liver and fermented meat regularly,

Meat. Bone. Very little fat. No organs.

We couldn't handle that. Dogs can.
