Thank you for this post.
I've read this about dogs. I haven't been able to verify, but it seems the most reasonable path. This is what dogs evolved to eat. The one thing I can say, is that kibble kills cats, not immediately, which can sometimes be worse. I call it 'long term dietary torture'. Every cat that I've switched to good quality wet or raw food recovers completely from this dietary deprivation in a matter of months.
Hi,
Thank you so much for your response! Yes, I have been told this too about cats. And especially with cats. Although dogs stomachs are adaptable and can "tolerate" veggies, kibble, etc... cats, cannot. They are purely carnivores.
Thank you for reading!!

Hi @lifeworship,

Thank you again for the post. Not enough pet owners know these things. Our pets are 100% dependent on us to do the right things for them.
Feeding cats kibble often leads to chronic dehydration, which leads to a major killer of cats, renal failure.
Other than that, kibble often leads to obesity in dogs and cats, which destroys their quality of life.
Yes, exactly. I don't think people should own an animal if they are not A) properly knowledgeable in nutrition for their pet and B) if they are not willing or capable of meeting those nutrition needs.... Otherwise it is just cruelty. So unfair to them. It is our responsibility to look into these things, and take care of them to the best of our abilities.
Thanks again <3
