| Yep, mine have been on raw for about 2 years. They get Primal raw everyday and chicken legs every once in awhile.

| I really want to! I am a vegetarian so it was so hard for me unwrap it, etc. It made me nervous to touch but I know it is very healthy. One day when I am no longer a student with a crazy schedule I will definitely switch. I love that there are different types of meals to chose from, I feel bad giving my dog the exact same thing every day (so we add canned food to give variety)

| I feed pre-made raw a few times a week. Stella & Chewy's and Primal. He loves it and does very well on it.

| Remy's been on raw (NV) for over a year. It's easy, healthy and he loves it. |

| Main difference in my opinion is quality of meat between the 2 companies. Primal sells human grade meat, I even received an email from them that states that human actually could consume their meat!! NV has been known to outsource some of their meat from China-which is something I am very scared of!!!! There have also been a recall on NV kibble, I know companies are not perfect, but Primal has not had any recalls on their meat (to my knowledge!!) Viv

| viviansnickers is right...upon close examination, it seems Primal has superior ingredients, not imported, and human grade...NV is a very good food, but after they had a recall on their organic raw chicken, they switched to the HPP process...this is a high pressure process that squeezes out the pathogens, but doesn't alter the food, in any way...I choose primal over NV... |

| I don't know if there's a benefit, per say. The only reason I do it is mainly cost and convenience. I am back and forth houses alot with Jackson and it's a pain to bring the raw, put it in the freezer, thaw it out, etc, when you're in someone else's home. So kibble is just very handy and easy. Also, cost... Jackson is 16lbs so he'd need a lot more pre-made raw than a 5lb dog. It gets very pricey.
