A species appropriate diet is a diet that is well suited to the metabolic capabilities of your dog’s digestive system. ⁠
Dogs are closely related to wolves, who are well established predators that thrive on a prey-based diet of primarily other small animals. ⁠
⁠
They have no need for carbohydrates and are poorly equipped to digest them for a number of reasons. The most obvious tell-tale signs are in the canine mouth. Unlike truly omnivorous creatures (like humans), dogs and wolves have sharp, pointy canines and molars that are designed for hunting, ripping and crunching in a way that our flat molars and jaws simply aren’t. ⁠
⁠
They can’t move their jaws horizontally, meaning they have difficulty grinding fibrous foods (which is why kibble in vomit is always still whole!), and in fact they don’t even produce the digestive enzymes required to break down carbohydrates in their saliva (salivary amylase). ⁠

Making the switch to a fresh diet is a big change for your dog and hopefully everything goes smoothly. Sometimes you will encounter hiccups along the way but don’t worry, it’s fairly normal and there are almost always ways to overcome them. ⁠
⁠
If your dog has been digesting one kind of food for a long time and we suddenly switch to a completely new food, it can be a bit of a shock to the system. The best way to combat or avoid this is to introduce new foods slowly, and transition across to their new meal plan over a week or so, reducing the old food and gradually increasing the portion of new food. Adding organ meats last is a good idea, as they can trigger an upset tum. ⁠
⁠
Fortunately, the gut microbiome adapts very quickly and this should resolve itself in no time. You can speed this process along by including small amounts of fermented foods, the homemade bone broth, or by adding a course of probiotics or digestive enzymes to help with the transition period. ⁠

There’s no doubt that we are susceptible to all sorts of food fads and gimmicks, and many of us eat far too much processed or fast food.⁠
⁠
But ultimately, most of us know deep down that it’s not good for us and that we should eat as much fresh, unprocessed food as possible, and moderate our consumption of things like refined sugars, simple carbs and heavily processed foods. And if we went to our doctor and they said, ‘No, no, put down the salads and eat ONLY simple carbs and heavily processed foods,’ it’s fair to say most of us would find a new GP. Yet this is basically the message we receive on behalf of our dogs when we’re told that we must feed them dehydrated biscuits made from ingredients that have been processed within an inch of anything resembling actual food.⁠
⁠
This goes against common sense and evidence. In 2020 the University of Florida conducted a large survey that clearly found dogs eating a processed dry or canned diet were more likely to be overweight or obese than those eating fresh foods, such as home cooked or commercial raw food. ⁠
⁠
Perhaps even more significantly, researchers at a teaching veterinary school in Finland found that dogs fed raw food had lower levels of inflammation and disease markers, regardless of whether they were overweight or not. This is troubling because chronic inflammation is widely understood to be a precursor to a vast number of diseases. ⁠
⁠
If we can raise our puppies on fresh foods from when they are very young, we undoubtedly give them a better chance at avoiding the problems that affect so many dogs these days. However, it’s never too late to make a positive change to your dog’s diet. Regardless of their age, your dog will achieve beneficial health outcomes if you switch to a nutritious wholefoods diet.⁠
