Peggy - good points you make. But there is one point that escapes most people. I don't want to go into too much detail because it can go on forever. Simply to say that dogs in the wild state are great meat eaters because they have no or little choice. They take what they can get and they know little or nothing of grains etc, let alone a complete and balanced diet! There is still one group of wild dogs in South America whose main source of food is vegetables and they live perhaps better than do their meat-eating cousins.
