Many dogs are alergic to raw meat, a friend's dog was fed raw from when he was still with his mother, never been fed anything else but he developed an alergy to raw meat and had to move over to kibble. I have a dog that is alergic to raw meat as well.
Ideally I prefer to home cook my dog food but with 6 dogs to feed it is impossible, mainly because my health isn't as good as it should be and I would be doing more harm by feeding homecooked then kibble when I couldn't cook.
The best thing is to research all dog foods, raw, homecooked, tinned, kibble etc and go for what you are happy with. There is a lot of bad dog food out these, but if you do your research you will get what is best for your dog.

Hi i remeber that Beef bones had to be frozen before being fed but couldnt remeber why.
I have looked into it quick and found that the cow can carry a disease that can make a dog infertile,and freezing kills it.
I also remember reading that Pork bones should be frozen for at least 3 weeks,but again cant find the article again...
Always ensure the bones are completly defrosted before fed too.
Will have a look later see if i can find the info i read,but it may be out of date now as there is so much more coming to light that is different to what was said before
confusing
