Their nutritional needs are met perfectly with a raw diet. It's what
they were created to eat. I really haven't seen many wolves at the
supermarket grabbing bags of kibble.

You give one example of a raw meal. Dogs should be fed mostly red meats,
adding bone and organ meat as well. There is no better diet on the
planet. Chicken lacks iron and zinc the dogs need. The best diet feeds
different protein sources over time. Mine get beef, pork, fish, turkey,
lamb, chicken, goat, whatever I can find.

Kibble is mostly carbs. A dog's digestive system cannot process carbs at
all, especially grains. I assure you if you switched to raw your dogs
would be healthier, faster, more energy, and more able to survive. I'm
really surprised to hear that raw feeding is so unknown in the sled dog
circles. Or is it just you?
