I currently feed Bravo! Raw and my boys are thriving. I've used Nature's Variety and Primal as well. I stopped using NV when I learned they were outsourcing some meats from China. I had to stop the Primal b/c my Snickers got bored of it. We are loving the Bravo! My boys also get only freeze dried raw treats and freeze dried food for supplemental feeding/snacks.
My boys only itch when they get the occasional mat. My boys love to eat, have lovely coats, and Snicks teeth are flawless. Reesie has some teeth issues but with regular maintenance, are fine, he needs a baby tooth pulled. Snick had LP surgery in 2009 and I contribute some of his rapid recovery to raw. My boys are gorgeous
little to no eye gunk and are extremely healthy. Vet said Snick's body weight and maintainable is perfect.
It is not cheap, but I wouldn't have it any other way in terms of choosing a diet.
Let me know if you have any questions. I feel everyone is not doing it for the same reason humans are not all eating organic, it's expensive and there are easier, other, cheaper, effective methods to ea that work just fine and is what the majority do. Also, raw not proven to be the best or better diet. It's your personal choice.
