I wish.
Although, I do consider the millions and millions of years that canines thrived on a prey model diet a pretty good long-term study. And, the downward turn in the health of our dogs since the advent of kibble a pretty good long-term study in what a straight-kibble diet has done to our dogs.
Personally, I don't think we'll find *many* vets who support or understand raw (yet). Remember that in vet school, they receive about a total of 1.5 hours of education in canine nutrition. So, at this point - YOUR knowledge in canine nutrition has likely surpassed theirs. Many vets are also brainwashed and money-washed by Hills - from whom they get kickbacks for selling kibble.
This is a vet who has a blog - and she "gets it":
