This is my experience with raw:

I gave Paris who is 8.5 pounds (great weight for her size but she is kinda on the thin side) Stella and Chewy's on average daily 4 dinner patties since she is too picky in eating and I'm not used to a pet not going right to their food and eating it. She started vomiting like in total 3-4 times after eating Stella and Chewy's a couple of days after. The doctor did X-rays and a Parvovirus exam and everything was fine and told me to just feed her a bland diet and change the raw dinner patties I was giving her since it was not agreeing with her. They gave Paris a shot and a pill and they told me if she vomits again then to contact them immediately. She has not vomited since then, her stool became normal again. I don't know if the patties had any cause or is it because I changed her diet from Blue Buffalo to Stella and Chewy too soon??? But I stopped feeding her raw after that since I'm scared she starts feeling bad again. I also feel like there is too much protein and fat in the raw patties of Stella and Chewy's compared to a typical recommended protein and fat diet for a dog. I put her back to Blue Buffalo since I'm comfortable with the ingredients they have more so than most dry foods and so far she eats when she is only hungry and she is back to normal. Again, this is my experience with raw food and I'm not an expert in raw and general food diet for dogs. Just putting out my experience here.
