I'm pretty sure my pup is done with the intestinal parasites he had when we got him (grrr), but his poops are still a little on the large side and still kind of soft. He's on a good food, but I'm thinking that he may be allergic to something in it, so I am looking into switching foods.

I am trying to be open-minded, even though raw sounds really weird to me, lol.

So, could someone please explain to me RAW options? Do you need a supplement, like with home-cooking? Or is RAW just a store-bought thing, frozen, that you heat up and it somehow includes vitamins? I also heard someone mention RAW in kibble form, I think? I really like kibble - less work, and at least a smidge better for the teeth from what I understand. I also live a little bit in the middle of nowhere, so are there places I could mail order from? I don't think any stores around here offer it.

What made YOU decide to feed raw instead of kibble or homecooked? Also, could RAW be good for a dog with allergies? Obviously I don't yet know for sure if that's my pup's problem, so I certainly have no idea WHAT he is allergic to specifically. I just don't understand RAW enough to be able to factor it into a fully-informed decision... I'm hoping those of you who have researched raw and/or feed it can help me. It's an interesting option that I'd never considered before joining YT. :-)

Thank you so much!
