RAW has been a positive diet for a multitude of dogs with different conditions, from allergies to IBS.
FYI:

-ALSO-
carnivora
\Car*niv"o*ra\, n. pl. [NL., neut. pl. from L. carnivorus. See Carnivorous.] (Zo["o]l.) An order of Mammallia including the lion, tiger, wolf bear, seal, etc. They are adapted by their structure to feed upon flesh, though some of them, as the bears, also eat vegetable food. The teeth are large and sharp, suitable for cutting flesh, and the jaws powerful.
I never made the claim that dogs could not survive if food other than meat was fed, it's not nutritionally NECESSARY to feed them, but if your dogs enjoy veggies then feed them! They certainly are not going to do any harm.
Thank you for the mature educational post.
You are still being smug and generally nasty.
You should lift your game.
What is your problem?
Do you enjoy portraying yourself as a prat?
Why do you expend so much energy vilifying people who mildly disagree with some of your more contentious posts?
You seem to feel threatened by people who don't share your simplistic views on feeding canines.
You do not do yourself or your "cause" a service by this sort of stuff:
It could be thought that you are being deliberately antagonistic and offensive. I'd be very surprised if any one thinks that is not your main aim.
The facts are that canis lupus familiaris is not an obligate carnivore. You will not be able to provide any reliable scientific source that says otherwise. Ever. So don't try
Dogs eat meat, and they eat vegies. Get over it, accept it, and move on.
And stop being so nasty and obnoxious; it does not become you.
Nasty, nasty, nasty; uncalled for and unwarranted.
