The Raw Dog Food Truth
The Carnivore Debate: Why Your Dog Isn't an Omnivore
The carnivore versus omnivore debate isn't just academic – it's reshaping how we feed our pets and directly impacts their health. DeDe Murcer Moffett and nutritionist Brian dive deep into why this classification matters so profoundly and the concerning motivations behind industry efforts to rebrand dogs as omnivores.
Looking at basic biology tells a clear story: dogs have sharp, pointed teeth for tearing flesh and strong jaw muscles – hallmark features of carnivores. They lack the flat molars omnivores use to grind plant matter. Yet somehow, while wolves remain classified as carnivores (despite occasionally eating berries when prey is scarce), only domesticated dogs face this reclassification push.
The motivation becomes clear when you follow the money. Plant ingredients are cheaper than animal proteins, more shelf-stable, and easier to source at scale. By convincing pet parents their dogs "thrive" on grains and vegetables, manufacturers can justify high-carbohydrate formulations while maintaining premium prices. This narrative conveniently aligns with existing commercial pet foods, which often contain 40-60% carbohydrates.
Brian explains the crucial difference between survivability and optimal health: "Dogs have evolved to produce small amounts of amylase, which allows them to digest carbohydrates. But the key part is it's small amounts." Unlike true omnivores that begin carbohydrate digestion in the mouth, dogs only produce amylase in their pancreas, putting them at a fundamental disadvantage when processing plant matter.
With new regulations requiring carbohydrate percentages on labels (a change the industry fought against for years), manufacturers are racing to normalize the idea that high-carb diets benefit dogs. The consequences of this nutritional mismatch are serious: obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, chronic inflammation, allergies, and digestive issues.

Friends Don't Let Friends Feed Kibble
Oh snap Well, hello Raw.
Speaker 1:Feeders. I'm Dede.
Speaker 2:Marshall-Roth, CEO of Raw Dog Feeding Company. We Are Pets, Health is our business and we're friends, like my friend, Brian RDF, Co's nutritionist. Dog knowledge in health extraordinaire. You were wondering where I was going with that, weren't you? He didn't let friends feed kibble. What's up B?
Speaker 1:Not much. How are you doing?
Speaker 2:Are you out there fighting the good fight, trying to get people's minds ready so we can get on the health bus for the dogs?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like I'm fighting every day, but yeah, definitely trying to get the word out there and still trying to convince people that it's not rocket science, we're just feeding dogs.
Speaker 2:I think if you just make it really hard for them, make it hard, make it hard, and then they're like, oh my gosh, and yeah, I mean, come on, hey, there is a war going on. There's always a war going on for something. Somebody's always trying to, you know, market something, say something, sell an idea, sell a story, because they have an agenda. Well, yeah, an agenda, and I think you see this more than anybody that there is a war on the word carnivore, on the word carnivore, right, carnivore? Well, first of all, okay, before we go into this war, I'm going to tell you let me see if I can find it really quick I want to talk to you about what I'm. What I mean is that people want to classify they want to classify their dogs as omnivores. Right, they want to classify them as omnivores. Now, I just had this pulled up and right before you came on, brian, I lost it. So I'm going to pull it up again. Hang on, because I want to prove that. Hang on Because I want to prove that, or I want to. I want to help people understand what omnivores versus carnivores are, and I think this definition is going to help set the tone for our conversation.
Speaker 2:So carnivores? Ok, what is a carnivore? A carnivore eats mostly or exclusively meat. They have sharp this one right here, brian is the one that I find it hard to argue on this one but the teeth of a carnivore? They have sharp pointed teeth for tearing flesh and they have really strong jaw muscles. Okay, they don't have molars. They don't have molars. And so omnivores. Omnivores. They eat both plant and animal matter and they have a combination of sharp teeth for meat and flat molders for grinding plants. Okay, so, even if I just stop right there for the definition, which one of those folks, if you were to go sit on the couch with your dog or your cat, you're going to open their mouth? Which mouth aligns with the carnivore or the omnivore? I mean, right there, brian, I think the discussion should be stopped and it'd be like, yeah, my dog and my cat they're carnivores, they, they're exclusively meat eaters. So, brian, tell me what. Why in the world are we having this massive war about the definition of what a dog or a cat is?
Speaker 1:Well, you know you spoke earlier. I mean, everything is. Nothing happens in the pet food world by accident. You know there's there's always the motivation for for everything.
Speaker 1:The push to reclassify dogs as omnivores, I believe, is it has to do with the type of food that is considered to be common for dogs and cats is completely inappropriate for a carnivore. So, rather than feed them for what they are, let's use science I'll do the air quote thing, um to help us reclassify them as something else that justifies the, the food choices that we've already made for for them. You know, nobody, nobody, including the scientific community, was sitting around the campfire and said hey, you know, guess what If we, if we reclassify dogs as omnivores, you know their lives are going to be so much better and they're going to have access to. You know this much better. You know quality of life and things like that. No, you know, it was strictly the pet food industry coming to science saying, hey, we got a problem and we need some studies that give us these results. And so the angle that they're taking it's important to distinguish this is just dogs, cats, for the most part. These same people will acknowledge they're like well, they're carnivores. They're not really trying to do anything with the cats and it's not the wolves and it's not the animals in the wild. They're willing to continue to let wolves be carnivores.
Speaker 1:It's just dogs that they've got to get reclassified as omnivores, which tells you a lot about the motivation and the angle that they're taken is that there has been evolutionary changes in dogs due to domestication that makes them better suited to be called omnivores than true carnivores. And while that's true that yes, they have evolved from wolves to live with us, I don't think it's necessary that they lose their carnivore status because of that. You know those evolutionary changes happened out of pure survival. Again, that's the human diet completely changed over the years, very radically, you know, fairly recently post World War Two. But but with with the human diet changing so dramatically, so did our dog's diet.
Speaker 1:You know, um, you know people. Just you know there there's not, you know there there's not a lot of people that are out going and you know still in animals and getting their meat. And then you know, giving those scraps to their dogs and stuff. Everybody's going to the grocery store and you know they're not shopping the outside of the grocery store, they're shopping all those aisles filled with processed foods and and things like that, and that's what our dogs are eating as well. And so, yes, you know, dogs have evolved to produce small amounts of amylase evolved to produce small amounts of amylase, you know, which allows them to digest carbohydrates. But the key part of that is it's small amounts.
Speaker 2:Well, the key part of that, brian, is it's survivability, but that doesn't mean it's optimal health, right? So animals have figured out how do I survive this shit? My pets, my parents feed me right, because I got to eat this crap literally every single day in my life. How am I going to survive this? Right? It really is that simple. It's survivability versus optimal health. And if you want to know in a nutshell, you know what industry does help if we can classify our carnivores as omnivores.
Speaker 2:Well think about this, guys If your dog and the industry considers dogs omnivores, meaning they can eat plants and they can eat meat, you know they can eat both. They can eat a pack of four. Well, then they can use grains, legumes, fillers instead of protein, which is what the majority of our diets are. Right, protein meat, bone meat, bone organ fat, right. So plant ingredients are far cheaper, they're more shelf stable and they're easier to source on a large scale, right. And then you have a sewer appeal, brian, because pet parents think their dog is an extension of them. They think they're human. Now, we don't have four legs, we don't lick our butt, we don't lick our genitals, we don't pump each other in that one. Take that now but, anyway.
Speaker 2:Um, I'm just saying that there's this, there's this market and consumer appeal. Right, it aligns with the human diets if people eat grains and veggies and they feel more comfortable feeding their dogs that stuff. And then then one, the one that I love the most, one that I just I, I just it just makes me sleep so well at night is that now we can justify AAFCO approved formulations because those are heavy in carbohydrates and plant proteins.
Speaker 1:God forbid that we go up against AAFCO, so yeah, yeah, I mean it's, it's definitely driven by the pet food industry. Um, they're the ones that stand to benefit the most from um, from people believing that their dogs are better suited, um, for, you know, carbohydrates and grains. Um, you know, you know it used to be, um, the the, the debate used to be about like, well, can dogs have vegetables? And you know, you and I have been doing this for a long time and we, we both probably remember a time, um, there was a core group of raw feeders that were like no vegetable ever, absolutely not. You know, meat, meat, meat, that's it. And I think you know there's still some people that you know that probably feed their dogs that way, and that's okay.
Speaker 1:A lot of people that have realized that, yeah, a small amount of vegetable, can you know, can be a good part of the diet. It's good fiber, it feeds the bugs in the gut, um, you know it's, it's not really, it's not really providing any nutrition for the dog, um, but they are benefiting from it and, um, um, you know, and so we started including, you know, small amounts of edge and, and the dogs were able to digest it because, like we talked about earlier, part of the, you know, part of the evolutionary, you know, changes that they've made is that their pancreas produces the amylase to digest the carbohydrates. But you know again, a true omnivore, amylase is produced in the saliva because digestion starts in the mouth. So you know what dogs are doing with their amylase production is. You know they're already behind the eight ball because the food's got to go, it's got to get to the stomach before digestion can even begin, and with a short digestive tract and plant matter taking longer to digest, if your, if your dog's diet is primarily plant matter, how much nutrition are they really getting?
Speaker 1:Because they're not cows, that that that food is not sitting in their stomach for days and days. You know fermenting and and processing their, their digestive tract has not lengthened, you know it's still. You know what is it.
Speaker 1:it's roughly seven hours from from mouth to butt right um, so, um, so, if, if, if your diet is primarily plant matter and it's going through you that fast, I mean, what kind of benefit are you really getting? But what I was getting to say was that, you know, it used to be about just trying to justify giving our dogs a little bit of veg, and it's gone beyond that to now. It's not only you know, should we be giving our dogs vegetables and carbs, but evolution says it's better for them, they thrive on them. Plant protein is just as good as animal protein. Okay, that's the narrative that's coming out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you know why, brian? Why? Because if you change the narrative, then all of these prescription diets, all of these AAFCO nutrient standards, all of these kibble diets in the mind of a consumer, will be okay. If you change that narrative. Right, if you just make that one change your dog is not a carnivore, it's an omnivore then you can do all of these things. And what are the potential risk? Long-term risk to your dog if they're eating processed food and they have a food that is less bioavailable, less bioavailability needs less vitamins and minerals. Go in your dog and when you have a carnivore versus an army, for omnivore allows you to have a high carb load, we're going to put high carbs in there, it's okay, they can handle it, really, because that causes obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. And then we have chronic inflammation, skin allergies, ear infections, gut issues and plants lack the amino acids, key amino acids that your carnivore needs, right, taurine, methaninine and then, and then, brian, we're, we are going to see DCM, we are.
Speaker 2:We have seen it in those type of dogs. So that's the danger of changing this little word, one little word. Oh, is it really that big of a deal? Yeah, it's a big deal, it is a very big deal.
Speaker 1:And the prescription diets. You know that you brought up a good point because you know recently and and I believe this is a good thing the pet food industry doesn't. But pet food manufacturers are going to have to start putting the cart percentages on their labels. That's something that they have fought against for years and years and years and they lost. Now it'll be 10 years before it actually happens, because that's just the way stuff like this happens over and they see 40, 50, 60 carbs, especially with those prescription diets, because those ones are those are some of the highest in carbs. Almost all of them exclusively use corn as the first ingredient.
Speaker 1:Um, when a consumer turns over that bag and sees a number like 60%, if they haven't been conditioned to consider their dog to be an omnivore that thrives on carbs, they're going to see that 60% number and they're going to start looking elsewhere for food, start looking elsewhere for food. So you know, again, there's your motivation. You know, and and, like I said, the pet food industry knows that the carb thing on the labels is coming and they're just trying to get ahead of it. And and again, you know, those numbers are going to be a much easier pill to swallow If you believe all the hype that you know, not only is your dog, you know, not a true carnivore, but he's an omnivore and plant protein is just as good and, in most cases, better. Then you're not going to care about those high numbers better then you're not going to care about those high numbers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is crazy how easily we are led, brian, it's quite scary.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know, my question is you know, and again, I mean I think we've answered the question. But but you know, my, my thing has always been like why is it so important that?
Speaker 1:you know your, um, you know that your dog is like, like we're spending all this money to reclassify these animals. Um, you know, and again, we're not doing it with the wolves, though. You know we can watch, um, uh, we can watch all those trail cameras. You know you can see these different wolf sanctuaries and stuff like that online and you know they have the cameras up year round and you know, watch the wolves and what they do, and, um, you know there's there's one.
Speaker 1:It's the Voyager's Wolf Project up in Minnesota, and if you go to their YouTube channel you can see all sorts of videos of the wolves in the summertime eating nothing but blueberries. They're in these big blueberry fields and they're eating blueberries because that's the only thing that's available that time of year. You know, with the migration of the animals and and their prey and stuff like that, it's not around. So you know they figured out a way to survive, um, you know, by by eating the blueberries and and so you know that those videos have produced a lot of research. You know, as far as like, hey, you know wolves, despite being carnivores, can still. You know they figured out a way to eat these plant matters and fruits and veggies and stuff like that. But they haven't turned around and said well, we need to reclassify wolves because they're eating blueberries blueberries you know and um you know, and it's classified.
Speaker 1:Their digestive tract, their teeth they're going to have to change all that. Right, you don't have to. You don't have to reclassify them. I mean, you know, it's, it's like you know, hey, you know, a wolf likes blueberries, all right, well, that's, that's what he is. He's a carnivore that likes blueberries. You know, I like Chinese food. Do I have to be Chinese to eat it? I mean, you know, again, it's, it's, it's like well, we, you know, we want to feed our dogs all this stuff, but we need to make sure that they you know, they, they their classification matches what they're feeding them. It's like you know that's only necessary if what you're feeding them is wrong, or I don't even want to say wrong.
Speaker 2:It's just I'm going to say wrong.
Speaker 1:It's species inappropriate, I'm going to say wrong 's. Just I'm gonna say I'm gonna say it's species inappropriate, so so you change the species to make it species appropriate.
Speaker 2:Right, and here's the deal. I'm gonna say it's wrong. I'm gonna say it's wrong for this reason. Insulin, oh you, it's. Insulin resistance, obesity, cancer, inflammation, itchy skin, sloppy poops just they must have brain fog. I don't know.
Speaker 2:I haven't talked to a dog, but I can tell you that I can look at a dog that is fed a species appropriate, what they were created to eat, versus a dog that isn't. And it's like the dogs that eat the stuff that's been manufactured and taste enhancers and all this stuff. But they're like zoning out man, they're like they're drugged out. They're like they're drugged out, they're like spaced out, they're not really there, Not like the dogs that are raw fed. I just and you can fight me on that all day long, but I'll compare the raw fed dogs that we have and our staff and our customer base, and certainly my own, against a kibble fed dog, any day, any day, any time, right, any time. There is a vast difference. And if you think that, again, let's apply it to the human side. If you think you can survive and you can you can absolutely survive on Oreos and Ding Dongs and coke. You can. You can survive on that, brian. I know people that do that. Do they feel good? You'd have to ask them. But I'm a betting woman saying probably not, just experiment with yourself.
Speaker 2:Let's go on a week binge. Let's do it, brian. Let's just eat ding-dongs and Oreos and coke. We're going to do it for a week. That's all we're going to eat. We're just going to do it for a week and then we're going to stop and we're going to see what that transition is like. How do we feel going from processed high-sugary foods over to we're going to eat meat, yeah, eat fish. We can eat chicken. We can eat pork, we can eat beef right, and we're just going to do that. Now we could throw some organs in there, but I would barf, so I would have to put in the the desecrated organs, okay, because I'm not a liver chick, and so you know, let's just see. How long does it take us, brian, how long does it take us to stop having to go to the bathroom every you know hour and our poop's just like coming out like water? And how long does it take us to stop feeling like achy joints and like lethargic and irritable because you just pulled the sugar out of my diet that I'm addicted to? Can we do that? Let's do it. Everybody's like hell. No, I'm not doing that. I feel like crap. But our pet parents, who love their pets, do anything for my pet. What are you doing? What are you doing to your pets? What are you doing? What are you doing?
Speaker 2:These are carnivores. These are meat, buns, organ and fat. You want to throw in some veggies? Fine, it's sort of a side note. It's not like, oh, I'm going to add like a pound of veggies so I need to cut back on the protein. I would not suggest that, and I do have that question I don't know if you still get that question, brian. How much, if they add the veggies, how much are they going to pull the protein out? I'm like none.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, they should always just be an add-in. I wouldn't. You know, I wouldn't consider it part of. If you're feeding 10 ounces a day, it should be, you know, 10 ounces of blend, and you know, if you want to throw some broccoli in there or some carrots or whatever the case may be, just throw those on top.
Speaker 2:But yeah, the we're not going to compromise on this. We're not going to back down from this. Your dog, your cat, these are carnivores, period Barnum. Have they figured out how to survive from our stupid decisions? Absolutely they have. But survivability and optimal health two totally different things. Two totally different things. But if you're confused, if you have any questions at all, brian is here to help you. Brian is available to help you get on the right track for your dogs. It's not that hard. We can make it hard Now when you call us or when you text us, say I want the hard program or I want the easy program. So we know what to do with you. Okay, so if you want the hard program, we got that program for you got lined up, and if you want the easy program, we get that program too. Right, brian? But either way, whatever, you want.
Speaker 1:We're here to serve. Try to try to always do the easy one, but yeah, yeah this is definitely this. This is one of my. You know, I have a couple of raw feeding hills that I will die on yeah, which one?
Speaker 2:what are they?
Speaker 1:what are they? Uh, complete and balanced. Is a a marketing myth? And um, and your dog is a carnivore, not, not an omnivore? I refuse to concede on either of those. And part of me, a big part of why I'm so passionate about keeping them carnivores is I'm a big believer in respecting the species, honoring the species Right, and you do that by acknowledging and accepting who they are. You know you don't try to change them. You know you don't marry somebody and then try to turn them into somebody completely different.
Speaker 2:Wait a minute, frank, because everybody does that, everybody does.
Speaker 1:You should have you know, and if you do that you're probably not long for married life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or somebody's not happy, Right.
Speaker 1:But it's like, you know, your dog is a carnivore, you know, and there's nothing wrong with that, and you know, like I said, let's honor the species, let's respect them, and, you know, acknowledge that. And then, you know, let's feed them, let's feed them appropriately, you know, let's not call them something else so that we can feed them something different. You know, if anything, you know your dog is a scavenger, they're going to eat pretty much anything you put in front of them.
Speaker 2:Survivability does not equal optimal health.
Speaker 1:So survivability does not equal optimal health. So so you know, if you, if you want to feed them, you know completely inappropriate diets. I mean they're. They're obviously going to eat it and they're going to live. But you know you don't need to call them something that they're not just because that's what you want to do, unless it's very important that you feel good about your poor decisions. Right, and that's probably the crux of the argument, is that I want to be justified in my poor decisions.
Speaker 2:There you go, we're going to end it on that. Listen, brian will work with you. Brian is happy to work with you and you just heard some things he's not going to compromise on and that we don't compromise on here at Raw Dog Food and Company. Because why? Your pet's health is our business. It's in our tagline. It's in our tagline for a reason. That's what we built this company on. We built this company on pet health, not pet food, right? Is that what you said, brian? No, how did you say that? We built this on pet nutrition, not on just formulating a food, right? That's what we built this company on.
Speaker 2:And and you can go out today oh, my gosh Walked into pet, you know, just to get Lassie a toy because it was her birthday. And I really despise that smell in those stores. I do, the kibble is just. It's a horrible smell. But I was looking at, you know, all these different raw dog foods that are out there today and they're $15, $16 a pound and they have rice in them, they have potatoes in them, they have potatoes in them. They have all this. I'm like, why are you paying twice the cost for substandard food? Just come over to rawdogfoodandcompanycom we have the cleanest, the best food available, right, and we are going to help you get your dog on a species appropriate diet, a diet that is made for their bodies, a diet that will help them feel good, love life, be able to be trained easier.
Speaker 2:We all want our dogs to be happy, and a lot of that comes from giving them a food, and a lot of that food that we give them is high in carbs, right. So it's just like a weird vicious cycle, right? Like pet parents love to feed their dogs, they love to give their dogs treats and love to see their dog. You know you're having this interaction, but think about this You're giving your dog sugar and the dog's like thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm so addicted to it. Thank you for giving it to me.
Speaker 2:I would like a little more of that. So you give him more Like thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm addicted to that. Give me more, give me more. It's just like back and forth. And then the dog's fat, or then the dog has sloppy poops, or then the dog has gut issues, or then the dog has skin issues, or then the dog has training issues. Why? Because you're in this crazy loop, this crazy loop of giving your dog something that he was never intended to eat. That's how the industry is made, because they know that pet parents love to give their dogs food. Now, I'm not going to tell you, brian, that Lassie doesn't line up all day for our beef lung treats or our bison lung treats.
Speaker 2:She loves those, and I will say that she's a little bit trained on my part that when she comes back in from her walk, she was sitting in the kitchen for as long as it takes. That when she comes back in from her walk, she will sit in the kitchen for as long as it takes, just sits there and she's looking at the tree, she's looking at me. She's like, hey, if I had a finger I'd be pointing the nose, goes right, it's like there, it is there, it is there, it is. Rick's not like that, he's like Deedee. You've trained her to get a treat every time she comes home from a walk, because we're not, you know, we don't, we're, we're not, we don't do the training for treats right.
Speaker 2:Dogs, in our, in our world, in our training world, a dog should do what you ask it to do, when you ask it to do it, because you are the leader of the pack and and that's the way she's trained right. But unfortunately, brian, I failed and she's like I know, mom, and if I just sit here and I just keep looking at the tree, eventually she's going to give me that tree, right, um? So? So my point is this that look? Dogs will always act and will always take an opportunity to get fed right. Most I don't know any. Do you know? Do you in your pack? Because you have? Do you have four or five brian?
Speaker 1:I have four okay.
Speaker 2:If you were to offer them a treat, if you were to offer them raw food. Is there any time that they would say had enough.
Speaker 1:No, I don't want it no, no, they, uh, they uh, they would eat until they exploded.
Speaker 2:I'm convinced um, I'm surprised, brian, that you haven't tried that experiment, because you you're kind of that kind of guy, you're like I'm going to research this out.
Speaker 1:That's an expensive experiment.
Speaker 2:You work for me. Have you met Riley? I have, he is the warehouse dog.
Speaker 1:Yes, he is. You know, he's a lab German shepherd, but when it comes to putting things down, the gullet he's all lab, and if it's not nailed down it's going down.
Speaker 2:So I just wonder, you know, I'm curious how much would Riley eat Right and what would the ramifications be would be the second question. But how much would Riley eat Right and what would the ramifications be Would be the second question. But how much would Riley eat If you put down? So what do you feed Riley? About 20 ounces, 20, 24?
Speaker 1:He's around 22. Yeah, 22, 23.
Speaker 2:Okay, so let's say we put down 80 ounces, would he just? You know, they eat the raw so fast and people like, oh my gosh, they eat raw so fast. Who cares? That's the way they eat in the wild and it's not, you know, it's not, it's highly digestible. So they can do that.
Speaker 2:But I'm just wondering what would that be like if you could just eat? Because I, okay, we have game cameras up in colorado, right up in evergreen, where you live, and we have seen many times where a mountain lion is taken down, a deer right, and they one. They can't stand there all day and just eat. Well, mountain lion could, because no other animal is going to challenge them, but they still, you know, they eat a little bit and then they go away. And when they go away then the bear will come and kind of knock it around. The bear doesn't do too much. But then you've got your fox and your coyotes and your wolves, right, so they all come in as well, and your birds, which is quite fascinating. But I just wonder what, what it would be like if you did this. How much would your dog eat if he could just eat meat, meat every day, right, if you just lay down a bunch of food, so we know.
Speaker 1:Well, they yeah, I mean they. So a dog's stomach capacity is five times ours. And the other part of that stat was, I think, like a 35 pound dog needs 800, 900 calories on average you know, give or take per day but that same 35 pound dog could consume, I think they said, at least 5,000.
Speaker 2:So they need 800, but they could consume 5,000. But if you laid it down every day, if you just threw it out there every day, let's say we lined up five pounds every day for Ryan, how long would it take him, I wonder, before he is like I can't eat five pounds?
Speaker 1:every day for right, how long would it take him, I wonder, before he is like I can't find pounds, you know, you know, I would say I I don't know how long it would take. Um, but it would happen, because one of the you know and we get this question a lot, a lot, lot, lot lot. My dog's not eating. He's, you know, he, I fed your food forever. He loves it. He's always, he's always been so happy to eat, and this morning he wouldn't touch it to eat, and this morning he wouldn't touch it. And the the first thing that there's a couple of things that I always tell people to look at, but but the first consideration when your dog doesn't eat, is that you're probably overfeeding them yeah, so so it it, it happens that they're going to get to a point where they're not going to eat.
Speaker 1:I just don't know how long, how long it would take, you know. And it might just take, you know, because I would think that they, they would throw up and you know whether they learn a lesson from that, like Apollo did with the, with swallowing a whole mackerel, you know, or you know, would they just throw up and then you know?
Speaker 2:look at you know, oh, I made room for more, so let me go back at it. Yeah, Interesting, we may do that One of these days. We may do it with laws and and just see how much would she eat, because she eats so fast, right, and she just is like yeah, I think I think, between Apollo and Riley.
Speaker 1:I can promise you that both of them would put away a five pound roll, no problem yeah, she just she loves it and she's, she's felt.
Speaker 2:I mean we, she looks awesome, she looks amazing and uh, she's happy, she's healthy.
