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. | I wasn't talking about raw food if you looked at what I was quoting you would see I was talking about all the holistic brands of dog food coming out of the wood work yet lots of them being recalled. Not everything is an attack on raw food......... You will find many who say raw is unhealthy and you will find the same amount who don't feel that way and yes I could post many articles for my point of view but that is going to be pointless because you to could post many articles with your point of view. I feel the cons out weigh the pros for me and my dog.
