Im not critisising you, i am just interested in what the people on the other side of the fence are thinking.

Good questions!
I have researched raw for almost a year now and was always quite scared that it was going to take an awful lot of preperation and as we have busy lives I was never going to have time to prepare everything needed. I was copping out by feeding my dogs commercial food because it just somehow seemed easier.
The more I read how much better and healthier raw fed animals are the more angry I got with myself for "abusing" my beloved dogs by filling them with total and utter crap, even though I always used premium expensive foods.
Well about 2/3 months ago I finally bit the bullet, slapped myself round the face, and gave myself a good talking to. I love my babies so much so therefore why was I being too lazy to give them a better, healthier diet?? How wrong was I, its all so much easier. Yes I spend a bit of time liquidizing fruit and veg but as I know my dogs love this and its good for them, I feel good about doing it. My boy has always been a "take it or leave it" eater, but since changing over he gets so excited at meal times and there is never a crumb left.
I am now feeding my 17 month old and even my 18 week old puppy on raw now. They both already look healthier. And I'm happy now because the demon on my shoulder that was berating me for feeding them rubbish has now dissapeared
Sorry its a bit of a long post, hope you I somehow answered your questions
