I wouldn't call feeding the raw diet a fad, but companies do need to make sure if they are going to start a raw feeding business, that they know their stuff and are able to educate their customers too. There are tens of thousands of pet owners across the world that have always only fed raw. There are a ton of breeders out there doing it too. What gets my goat is all this hullaballoo about how unhealthy it is. It's like anything, you find a good vet and nutritionist, an experienced mentor and you learn to do it properly.
Processed dog food was invented in the US out of convenience, it never existed before then.
This was an article I found a long while back.
Raw vs Kibble diet, German Shepherd dogs, Tehillah German Shepherds
I do agree what works for your dogs, works for your dogs.
My friends Yorkie has a complete immune system fail and her body cannot absorb calcium and animal protein any longer. Her vet special orders some soy food, likely the cornstarchy one mentioned earlier, and she needs vitamin shots too. She was attacked by a neighbours shepherd and shaken like a rag doll, hours of surgery later, but her immune system took a severe hit after that.
