I've  seen comments regarding raw dog food. I'm currently feeding  my 2  
dogs  a (commercial) raw  meat/vegi mix dogfood. I remember  seeing a 
comment that stated   the vegetable  portion ,  carrots for example, just 
runs through. I suspect that paleo dogs were  probably 100% carnivorous. 
Are there dog owners out there that just feed  their dogs raw meat and 
fish only?  Anyone see any benefit to the  vegi portion or is it just a 
waste and maybe even harmful to the  dog?

We have 4 small dogs (10-24 pounds) and they eat  a combination of:
 
Raw chicken necks
Cooked and raw beef
Raw beef bones for chewing
Prairie Raw medallions (meat, bone and veg  mixture)
Smoked beef and pork
Rice, meat & veggies cooked  together
Our leftovers (but no mushrooms, onions,  etc.)
Cooked turkey and chicken
 
They usually eat a small amount of veggies 2-3  times a week, but I don't 
know if they are really getting any more nutrition  from their veggies than from 
the grass they graze on outside.
 
I base my feeding plan on the theory that  domesticated dogs are descended 
from the ancestors who thrived on what they  mooched from the humans and since 
we eat a mainly paleo diet, our food should  suit them as well.
