I don't even feed raw food, not even sure if I ever will be comfortable w/it, but I do believe that it's a species appropriate diet. It is considered the best pet food bc cats & dogs can digest the fresh meats easily & they get the enzymes & amino acids that the fresh whole foods provide.

Home cooking is not considered the best bc it's cooked (but it's still good!). So the vitamins & minerals need to be added to make it balanced. I would rather have the vitamin & mineral sources come from fresh whole fruits & veggies. But not everyone can feed that way everyday, I sure can't.

I'm not slamming any particular food, you can feed whatever you want to your pets. When my guys were eating Canine Caviar, they were doing great! It really helped w/Princess' yeast issues bc it didn't have too much carbs (no potatoes). But Momo's hair was so dull & the vet even gave me fish oil to add to his diet. So what works for 1 dog, will not be so great for others. I'm just spreading the knowledge of what's best & worst on the pet food chain. You can choose to believe it or not, it's up to you...as long as it's balanced.

It's still those vets and peoples opinions that it's the best I could list vets who think it's not. Dogs are not like they where they have been domesticated and there systems have evolved just like most things. Do you think cave men knew to cook there food? I doubt it and I bet it didn't make them sick either but now our bodies have evolved and it will make us sick.
