But thats my point, why are we trying to copy the diet of wild dogs when the diets they are getting now are allowing them to live happily past the age of 14 and research into dogs dietary needs is making the food we feed better and better.
Edit, IMO the risks of feeding a raw diet far out way the benefits in my mind and I don't think they have found any loss of nutrition if the meat is at least cooked
