Anatomy of a Carnivore

By Lew Olson • Spring 1999 Newsletter

This article is written to address the current confusion of the dietary needs of the domestic dog. The dog has been a companion to humans for at least 10,000 to 14,000 years, although current molecular data shows that the dog may be much older. Our domestic dog is closest genetically to the wolf, and they differ in only 1% to 2% in their gene sequences. This is quite significant, as dogs differ from coyotes by 7.5% and even further from jackals and foxes. Wolves and domestic dogs also have identical digestive tracts.
