The Carnivore’s Kitchen: A Deeper Dive into Your Dog’s Natural Diet

The Carnivorous Blueprint of Dogs

Our canine friends trace their lineage back to the Carnivora order, where meat was not just food but their primary source of sustenance. Here’s why this matters:

Anatomy Tailored for Meat: Dogs have evolved with a body designed to consume meat efficiently. Their dental structure is ideal for tearing and grinding meat, with jaw muscles strong enough to handle bones. Their digestive system, featuring a muscular stomach and short intestines, is all about processing high-protein, high-fat meals quickly.
Nutritional Bounty: Meat offers:
Protein for muscle maintenance and repair.
Fats for energy, skin and coat health, and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins.
Vitamins and Minerals: Naturally occurring in raw meat, these are crucial for overall health, from bone strength to immune function.
