Why have dogs recently been classified as Omnivores?
In our dictionaries, Mr. Webster still classifies a dog as carnivorous (flesh-eating), direct descendants of wolf (genus Canis). Perhaps this myth of defining our domestic genus Canis as omnivores has been promoted by self-serving pet food companies trying to justify turning our canine companions into “corn dogs”. As far as we are concerned, our favorite genus Canis pals are still carnivores, prefer fresh meat, and thrive on the health promoting nutrition of raw meat diets.
