The notion that wolves eat the stomach contents (or rumen) of their prey is a common misconception. In fact, when taking down any large ungulate, the stomach contents are shaken out prior to consumption of the stomach itself. The rumen is one of the few things that wolves do NOT eat, in addition to bones and hide.
"When wolves catch and kill a large mammal, they will gorge and then rest while the food is being rapidly digested. They will generally consume all but the hide, some of the large bones and skull and the rumen (stomach contents of ungulates) of their prey."
There is a lot of research to support the fact that wolves do NOT eat the rumen of their prey, and this has been studied fairly in depth. That wolves and dogs NEED any measurable level of vegetation in their diet is a myth.

MY - 'FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH' . . . .
Generally in the wild when a "dog" (read as 'dog' - - such as wolf) brings down a kill - a deer for example, the very first thing they will eat are the stomach contents = grains and grasses. Although our dogs do not revert to the wild, they still do require certain carbs from grains in their diet to aid digestion. Yes, too much and of the wrong kind are just pooped out - and also an abrupt change of diet will cause your dog to poop a lot of the new food out until their system adjusts. otherwise, yes, the over abundance of grains in pet food are simply fillers.
So while certain grains in limited amounts are important, too much would be harmful.
Remember too, that dogs should not have a 100% MEAT diet; they are domesticated animals and have been for thousands of years. They require a well blended diet,the same as we do. Be aware that TOO HIGH of a Protein diet is harmful– not beneficial. A proper protein blend, derived mainly from fresh chicken should be between 21 and 25%. High activity dogs require the higher protein but puppies do not require super high . . become a label reader."

Without terrifying everyone that their dog will keel over tomorrow, most of us who choose raw feed, do so. When SO many dogs live well into the double digits, I don't think the sky is falling, quite yet. But, raw food is the best for dogs. they are meat eaters and grains (which do make up the majority of commercial dog foods) are not needed, not digested and simply filler which passes though the dog and leaves its final mark in your grass.Karon AdamsAccredited Jewelry Professional (GIA)You can send a Rosary to a soldier!From: boxerlovers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:boxerlovers@yahoogroups.com]

Subject: [boxer lovers] The Shocking Truth About Commercial Dog Food Revealed!I want to raise awareness among all pet owners, so that they know what is really going on in the pet food industry and how they may be poisoning their dogs. If you love your dog as much as I do, I know you'll do anything for your dog.
I was shocked to learn that dog food production is un-r! egulated. Did you know that nobody actually checks what's in it, and that there are no enforced standards of production whatsoever? You would be shocked what goes into dog food; for example, have you ever thought about what the words meat or bone meal in the ingredient list mean? Did you know that this includes euthanized pets and animals that die from disease? Not only this, but dog food is often treated with toxic chemicals, such as sodium pentabarbital. Unfortunately, this causes many problems for our beloved dogs, including diarrhea, skin problems, weak immune systems and premature deaths. Not something you'd like to give to your pet you love so much right? Well, let's put an end to this dog food conspiracy!
Dog food secrets will show you the truth about what goes into your pet's food and the harmful side effects that go with it. Ever wondered why your dog has perpetual loose stools or bald spots in the back? This program will reveal the ugly trut! h behind all this and teach you how to increase the life expec! tancy of your pet by preparing your own natural food for your dog. This will save you time, tons of money and your beloved dog as well.
