The Importance of Nutrition for your Dog Dogs are carnivores. This means that protein is an important food group in their diets.

I personally don’t care for this way of providing nutrition to my own dogs because it encourages coprophagia (consumption of fecal matter) and a host of other diseases if the fecal matter is left on the ground.
