I have feed raw to my dogs for over 5+ years. How-ever I don't start on raw until after one year old.

I believe by then their immune systems are fully operational.

I don't and have never had to worry about all the various Kibble recalls. I actually changed to raw because my boy Magic, despite varying high premium kibble, caused after one or two weeks on it, extreme diarrehea. Since that time and on raw he has never had that problem.

It is also hard to feed raw to one dog, and not to the others, so gradually I switched over all the dogs to raw. I do throw a bit of kibble in their food daily, as when we travel it is very hard to transport raw across a border. This gives me some breathing space to once I get across the border to prepare their meals.

I do know that when Zoey needed to go for heartworm treatment, i was told that if I feed her raw, then she essentially would be treated like an outcast in the hospital. Everyone would have to handle her gloved et al.

So I began to cook the meat.
