That is a common statement that leads one to believe that food ingredients are different for the dog and for people. Our species has eaten small amount of meat compared to plants and fruit and canines have eaten a small amount of plants and fruit compared to meat. It is the mix of ingredients and where they come from that is important.
A chicken and rice commercial diet has 60% rice, 20% chicken, 15% chicken fat, and 5% bones and rice hulls.
Oh…by the way, the chicken may be less desirable cuts of chicken, including the beaks and feet. That doesn’t always make it less nutritious, but restricts the variety. If we were to feed a meal composed of 40% chicken,30% chicken fat, 30% rice potatoes or veggies it would be the same idea.
Some dogs are sensitive to beef, wheat, and corn and those ingredients probably should be avoided

Someone recently said to me that people food for my dog was a complete and total no-no. I just can’t see that. I mean if it’s healthy food for me, why wouldn’t it be good for my dog, assuming I use a little common sense? I’m looking forward to reading your book Dr. Martinez. RR
