Technical Focus - Natural meat levels in a dog’s diet
Contrary to common beliefs on the internet, dogs cannot thrive on a diet consisting solely of muscle tissue. While muscle tissue is high in protein, it lacks essential nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium, iron, copper, iodine, and several vitamins. Although wild ancestors of dogs primarily ate freshly killed meat, they also consumed the entire prey, including bones, organs, and intestinal contents. Most of their prey were herbivores, which meant that the gut contents contained mainly plant-based materials. Therefore, both wild ancestors and domesticated dogs are more accurately classified as omnivores rather than strict carnivores.

Modern research supports this classification, showing that the digestive system of domestic dogs has evolved to better process a higher carbohydrate content as well. As a result, there is a need for balance in creating the ideal diet for dogs, and an appropriate meat content should range between 40 and 60%.
