If you broke a bone in a car wreck, was there a structural problem anyway?

If you have problems that resulted from malnutrition, would that mean there was a structural problem anyway?

Wolves have a totally different diet that could attribute to their growth. Also, this diet has a different nature already being hydrated and of given form (doesn't disolve into a "wet sand" type like kibble does). Wolve's also don't over endulge themselves with water.

AND, finally wolves don't typically over exert themselves. Wolves are likely more "steady" in fitness, activity, diet, and hydration. Bloat often occurs in dogs that go from one extreme to another without much time...like from active dehdrated and hungry states to overconsumption and overhydration...and not just adults but also developing individuals.

Also, let's ask ourselves if dogs that are raised on a strict raw diet bloat?

My point is genetics may play a factor, but without a doubt nutrition certainly would too...as would lifestyle (active/passive).
