Agreed, Dekka. If you look at a coyote, wolf, or fox scat- you will see lots of seeds and plant material as well as fur and perhaps some bones. I highly doubt that those wild canines ate those fruits and grasses on accident. And like you said, they DO eat green tripe in the wild which offers already processed plant and fruit material. Dogs are opportunistic carnivores- meaning they will eat meat when they get the chance, but are designed to be able to thrive off of other food sources as well when meat is not available.
That said, I feed Great Life dog food- made with free range chicken and vegetables (it is a grain and potato free freeze-dried raw kibble). Raw food was far too expensive to feed. And after hearing about a dog who choked and died on a piece of bitty meat- I am just not comfortable with it anymore. Freeze dried kibble is definitely the cost effective, safer way to go.
