I don't feed raw because Lucy has mild MVD and we keep her on a limited amount of protein and only certain kinds of protein.

I know on other boards I have frequented (not this one)- even this has been called into question by others with long explanations about how she must have protein, etc and how protein can't be the cause of all the liver problems and how raw would be good for her.

I really didn't feel like getting into the whole explanation with them because they know nothing of MVD or yorkies (And we all know how special and different they are from all other breeds)

But I'm not comfortable with it; I've researched MVD up and down and all around - and I can't see where raw would be good for a dog with MVD. It just seems like an all protein based diet would not be good. Yet, they (not you guys) made me feel like I was crazy!

Since you guys are experienced with yorkies - I'd be curious to know if there are any raw feeders out there for MVD dogs?
