my two are fed raw, i get it from landywoods, which i learnt about from this forum. the veternairy nurse at my vets said that she does not agree with raw feeding but as part of her diploma work she is looking at how raw is said to make dogs less hyper due to no additives being in the food and had to agree that there does seem to be some truth in this, and although mine are only 7 months old they have not had any health problems yet, like hot spots or dandruff or such, have never choked on any bones and they have chicken carcasses, and if you have room to store the food from a place like landywoods, it is said to work out cheaper than commercial food.
