I am not an expert, but two different vets I have been to, not only were very against raw diets, but also against home feeding. One of the vets even said not to ever feed them raw bones. I was giving my dog raw beef bones for the last few weeks and one of them got really sick. Of course, we dont know for sure but the vet thinks it was the raw beef bone. I know those of you that feed raw have done alot of research and are doing what you feel is best for your babies, but I too cant ever imagine doing it. It sure does not seem to be an acceptable thing around here and makes me wonder how many vets actually approve of it. Does anyone have any idea? It does make sense that this is the natural diet of a canine, on one hand, on the other hand, maybe their digestive systems have evolved in the last 100 years too like ours have. I only know what is right for me but think it is an interesting trend.
