CHAPTER IV. 



Other Foods. 



Although in a general way I have said 

 considerable regarding the proper food to 

 be given your dog, it will perhaps be better 

 to give this important subject further con- 

 sideration, for this question is very often a 

 perplexing one when there are several ani- 

 mals to be cared for. That meat is the 

 natural food of dogs is abundantly shown 

 by the formation of the teeth, which is 

 identical with that of all animals who live 

 upon flesh ; meat, therefore, should consti- 

 tute no inconsiderable portion of their 

 food. Whether it should be cooked or 

 given raw is an open question that scien- 

 tists have not yet satisfactorily determined.
