Best to think macrobiotics for people only. When you make an animal a "pet" and bring indoors then you break their natual
connection with the wild of nature which is "macrobiotic" for them.
It is noble that you are helping with you dog's illness, however.

I think the most appropricate way to treat is to give 75% meat
(raw and slightly cooked), put through a meat grinder or chopped
fine and add 25% left over grains & veggies (including seaweeds).
"Left overs" equates to mainly cooked macobiotic foods. Anatomy
and phusiology of non-human animals is vastly different from
humans and therefore needs are different. Always look to nature
and changing seasons for ideas on what different animals eat
depending on where they live, the season, feeding habits, etc.

We have many wild dogs living in the woods in my communtiy
in RI. We call them coyotes. They prey mostly on live small animals, including stray cats (usually at night). There is an intesting movie on wolves feeding habits called "Never Cry Wolf."
It is based on naturalist Farley Mowat's observations in the
far north. Turns out wolves eat mice when the carribou herds are thin.

In peace, Roy
