They've only been domesticated in the last blink of an eye, in terms of how long their species has been on the planet, and only a tiny fraction of that time eating commercial dog food. Before commercial dog food, they just ate discarded bones, guts, heads, feet, pelts, unwanted organs, supplemented with whatever they could catch and kill (or find already dead) around the homestead.

While true, longevity, disease, and other health problems probably are not well documented.

I have my newest dog in an obedience class and the lady teaching has made suggestions that I'm not how might you say, being good to my dog by rewarding with kibble rather than the high dollar stuff from PetCo or wherever.
