The natural diet of dogs is table scraps. They’ve been eating human leftovers for thousands of years.

The natural solution for dogs which need a special restrictive diet to survive is death. I think we prefer unnatural sometimes.

I wonder how many people, upon observing people feeding dogs table scraps, argued that it was more natural for them to hunt prey, and hide from humans unless they were a present danger, and kill or maim them in those cases.
I’m glad my pup has medical professionals who take her well-being seriously and don’t think whether she gets to live a healthy life is up for abstract debate based on how her ancestors were domesticated.
Thanks for the discussion of how unnatural it is for my pup to be alive and healthy. I’m much more educated now.
