I have a friend who owns a Bernese Mountain Dog and they have been eating raw for about 6 months now, and she just got a new puppy and that's all the breeder has been feeding her gang for many years. But...I have another friend with a yorkie who switched and after about 2 months she came down with an intestinal bacterial problem with bloody stools. The vet went through the roof when she found out that a raw diet was being fed. After the meds, she's back to normal and no more raw for her just a high quality dry and cooked/steamed food. I think that maybe there are less problems with the larger breeds switching them over, because you have to remember that we've evolutionized (?) the domestic dog and their intestines, so to quickly switch back to totally raw, I think sometimes it may be a little too hard on their systems. Whatever you choose, just make sure that it's high quality, they deserve no less...
