Dogs are omnivores with a meat-based diet, so eating meat is fine, and an occasional serving helps supplement protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. However, a meat-only diet lacks balanced nutrition and can lead to deficiencies and obesity.
What happens if a kitten eats only kibble?
A kitten can grow normally on kibble alone if it is nutritious (protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, trace elements). Poor-quality kibble causes weak muscles, slow development, bone deformity, and low immunity. Choose rich kibble or rotate formulas for fuller nutrition.

My 45kg Alaskan Malamute, almost 3, recently in heat and got demodicosis; ears are dirty and itchy after cleaning. A chewable worked then relapsed and worsened; eyes/mouth/feet have purulent crusts. Heard doramectin helps but unsure if safe for long-haired dogs and timing with the chewable.
Confirmed demodicosis is treated orally, by injection, or medicated baths. After relapse, a second deworming plus ivermectin injection is an option; dose by vet to avoid toxicity. Alaskans are NOT collie-type, so ivermectin is safe. Medicated baths and vitamins help; clean the environment.

Why do dogs get calcium deficiency after giving birth?
Postpartum deficiency comes from low dietary calcium/vitamin D, fetal bone growth draining the mother during pregnancy, and large calcium loss into milk during nursing beyond compensation, raising muscle excitability and whole-body spasms. Supplement calcium before birth.
