[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, dogs are genetically close to wolves .  But we can see in human populations that lactose intolerance is far more common in Asian cultures than in Scandinavia.  However, most scientists say racial differences are genetically negligible-yet that tiny difference is enough to require slightly different dietary needs.  I'd hazard a guess that the optimal dietary needs of a pug will differ from a wolf. [/quote]

well you mentioned perhaps one of the most trait modified dog there is, so yeah. And in your example suppose there were pups that could tolerate lactose. That doesn't mean they need it for nutritional health. It would just be an another food source. 
There is no parallel "meat intolerance" in dogs. But your point is taken, modern food is a more efficient delivery system for multiple vitamins and minerals than raw diet. But 'raw' proponents are sufficiently compulsive to assure that Fido will manually receive the same  individual supplements, only in a raw state. No one is just feeding their dogs a hunk of beef and calling it a day.[/quote]
