What does that mean?

They weren't "meant" to be a lot of things, but they are. People put way too much thought into what they feed their dogs.

Saying they can't digest grain is just wrong.

It means that wild dogs are carnivores. The only vegetation they get as a food source come from the stomachs of what they eat.

Wolves do not seek out vegetation as a food source the way bears do unless they are starving to death. Had dogs never been domesticated they'd be carnivores too

Never said that, but they don't digest it as well as meat. The enzymes in their stomachs do not digest grain and vegetation as well as they digest meat.

My plan is morning meal raw, night meal kibble, since the kibble takes longer to digest
