#‘wolves dont die from cancer’ is also a wild claim

[specimentality]

(Voiceover to a montage of preparing raw dog food)

“Wolves die from diseases like lyme and parvo and rabies… but our domestic dogs die from cancer, and diabetes, and kidney dysfunction, and all the metabolic diseases. And wolves don’t die from any of those things. Clearly this is big kibbles fault, follow to homestead with me ✨”

Paraphrasing but I saw this on instagram and it bugged me. I’m not getting anywhere arguing with someone who drinks raw milk and thinks that’s safer than GM food. But like hmm maybe part of it is because domestic dogs tend to live longer without dying from injuries. Also wolves definitely can get cancer...

Like I’m not an expert on wolves but blaming kibble is a choice. Nutrient requirements in dogs have been well studied. Feeding your dog a diet that has passed AAFCO feeding trials will ensure they get proper nutrition and is far safer than feeding them raw meat, eggs, and milk.
