I thought this article was super interesting, I wish they would try raw feeding some sled dogs and do the same studies with them. Im no expert but some of the concerns(food staying in the gastrointestinal tract too long and causing diarrhea and it being hard to give them enough food to burn) seems like things that Ive heard raw feeding doesnt have a problem with. I thought I read something somewhere about raw food giving the dog a more stable "burn" of blood sugar than the "spike" they get from kibble...? http://www.mushing.com/articles/content.php?vw=2,,8,633

Protein slows carbohydrate absorption in human diets, why wouldn't that be true for dogs? Dogs were the initial model used to understand and treat diabetic issues, were they not? Is there a vet in the house?

When racing or training long distances, mushers do feed a high percentage meat- sometimes raw and frozen, sometimes cooked over a dog-food cooker and often mixed with kibble.
