As most raw feeders believe---Raw is the most healthful, beneficial, worthwhile type of food for dogs and that is why we feed raw. Even if you feed half raw, you get 1/2 of what I believe to be the best food. So even if you can only feed half...way to go!! Raw is not cheap, it costs me about $20/week to feed my 2 but I feel it's the BEST diet for my dogs. Benefits that seem to go along w/ raw feeding:
-Smaller, less, less smelly poop

-Keep teeth very nice and clean (this is have experienced 1st hand)
-Grainfree and very minimally altered
-BEAUTIFUL coat--mine have a sweet smelling coat & minimal matting
-Great energy
-Awesome desire to EAT

-Consume less water as raw has much moisture in it
-Mine have gotten less eye gunk and the gunk they get is clear instead of RED
We are super happy wityh our choice of diet
