| When food enters a dogs system, it is hit with a very potent mixture of digestive enzymes, which do a very good job of breaking down fats, carbohydrates and protein. The time from eating on one end to expelling on the other is hours. The combination of speed and strong enzymes enables dogs to eat things that would, at the very least, make us very ill.
The dog’s stomach is designed for meat. Anything else they would eat in the wild, like plant material and such, would be obtained from another animals stomach and already broken down.
I would not mix the raw meat with the kibble though. When you mix raw meat and kibble, harmful bacteria can enter the kibble, and because the kibble takes longer to digest, there is the chance of the dog getting sick because it will stay in the stomach longer. So your dog stands a better chance of getting sick by mixing rather than the raw by itself.
