Last month’s blog post, looked into how dogs were biologically classified as ‘carnivorous scavengers’, meaning that their diet should mostly consist of meat, and be obtained via their natural behaviours of scavenging and foraging.

Dogs are often labelled ‘domesticated wolves’ or described as being descended from wolves and as such are sometimes thought of as hunters. The truth of the matter is that none of the above is actually true. Our domestic pet dogs shared a common ancestor with today’s wolves, but the species split away from that common ancestor, and some of the resulting animals went on to develop into wolves and some to become our domestic dogs.
