Facultative Carnivores
|
Dogs and wolves are known as facultative carnivores. A facultative carnivore does best on a carnivorous diet, but can survive, not thrive on a non-carnivorous one. Cats and wild cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they cannot survive on a non-carnivorous diet. An omnivore really doesn’t care much either way. It eats what’s available, vegetable or meat.

Alternatively, we are happy to recommend proven, high quality kibble or home cooked diets if raw feeding isn't available to you. |
