What "risks" of kibble are you talking about? I can't think of any off the top of my head.
It's nonsense to say that with raw feeding you know where all the ingredients you are feeding your dog come from - that assumes you know where the animals you purchased came from or how they were raised. That sadly is something that the majority of people do not know. Most people do not know how to read a label and think statements like "chickens fed vegetarian feed" or "cage free" is a good thing whereas I do not think chickens fed vegetarian feed is appropriate nor do I think sticking their beaks out of the cage for 2 minutes a day is good. Yet people pay up for this stuff.
So, with raw, you do not necessarily know where all the ingredients came from. You do not necessarily know what conditions the animals you are feeding were subjected to or that the animals themselves are healthy. If you know these things, that's great, but from the reading I've done online with PMR feeders, most are ordering buckets of deformed cows and scraping up road kill and tossing that garbage to their dogs. I'd take kibble any day over that kind of an approach.
I'm tired of the raw feeds ramming this stuff down our throats here, disrespecting the 98% of people who feed kibble! And I don't even really feed dog food yet I find this so obnoxious.
