I am back to home-cooking. But, like you, I would really like to get back on raw, because I feel it does have so many benefits.

I think, our safest bet may be doing the raw diet with fresh food, so that if a problem arises, we aren't left guessing what was in the food.

I had been home-cooking for quite a long time, then a spine disease landed me in bed for a year and a half, and I've only been back on my feet since the end of November. And even at that, not 100%.

I'm feeling rather disheartened with the pet food industry.

Sheila,
I cannot even begin to imagine what you have been through with your own health issues - a year plus confined to your bed!!! I do hope you are getting around now, fully mobile!
You are not the only one feeling down on even the supposedly "higher grade" pet food manufacturers. From what I can understand about Evanger's, is that after the dreadful recall in March '07, their facility was expanded hugely due to increased demand, so I imagine many quality control issues fell through the cracks.

I had heard such great things about NV, so I was upset to see what happened with your Kia. Hope she is doing better now with her new diet.
Lauren
