There are so many advantages to raw feeding, all I can say is do your research and let that guide you. I gagged when I did mine, which answered my suspicions regarding my previous dog. I don't cook because dogs/cats need the added enzymes; another advantage is they're not as thirsty.
By the way, Gigi lost her bottom baby teeth gnawing on meaty bones. I'm waiting for the top baby teeth to come out, that'll save me $150. By the way, her breath has improved by 50%

I think the greatest surprise was that her poop disintergrates within 24-hours and doesn't smell. Makes for easy clean up and disposal.
