ok so when i started researching dog nutrition and looking for reviews on the top notch dog food orijen, there were a couple people complaining that their dogs had high creatine levels when tested at the vets. i was under the impression that too much creatine (comes from animal protein) can cause kidney damage and worried that only higher activity dogs would benefit from it and may cause adverse effects to lower energy dogs. well it looks like there's plenty of creatine in the raw diets because of all the protein. it doesn't seem like this causes a problem in wild dogs or wolves, in fact the website i linked at the bottom seems to praise creatine in meat. my question is if there is concern in high protein diets for dogs who are low energy or couch potatoes? or does it matter at all? i don't know if the extra creatine in the sedentary animals becomes a problem over time, since I'm sure in the wild wolves do a lot more exercise than the average house dog.
here's an interesting link i found: Creatine and Dogs
creatine supplementation is used by a lot of body-builders and it looks like some people unfortunately give it to their illegal fighting dogs
