I was feeding only Natures Variety raw for over two years. I tried prey model raw for a short time but stopped. I still feel like prey model is great if done correctly, but it is so time consuming and the dogs faces got nasty. However, using prepackaged raw is very convenient. All you do is thaw it out and feed. Doesn't take that much longer than pouring out kibble and it's so much better fir your dog. Now I'm feeding homecooked and raw because I spoke with a nutritionist who felt that feeding all raw was too rich for a lot of dogs. So you still get great benefits by feeding some raw and homecooked. I would NEVER feed my dogs any kind of kibble again. There are some decent ones out there but I feel like kibble is just overcooked crap and chemixals in a bag for the most part. I'd feed high quality grain free canned over kibble. I love my dogs and want them to live long healthy lives, and if that means taking more time at feeding time so be it. I could never feed them kibble
