There are no chances to be had. There have been many recalls on kibble. I watched a video of kibble being made and I would never go back.

Dogs on kibble poop huge poops twice a day. Why? Because there is so much filler in kibble.

It's easy to balance out the ratios for raw. My dogs have been on it for five years and they actually eat their food, now. My Pyrs have never liked the processed kibble and it was painful to watch them eat it piece by piece and never finish it.

They have both had blood work and they are both perfect after 5 years on raw.

Both my dogs had medical issues when I adopted them. After prednisone and digestive enzymes, neither of which worked, I put them on raw. I've never looked back.

Conventional vets will be quick to scare people on feeding raw but there is no fear to be had.

Vets get their nutritional training from kibble reps and vaccination training from pharmaceutical reps. After my own experiences with vets and watching this video http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/episodes/2012-2013/barking-mad I don't have a lot of faith in some vets nor vet colleges.

Many vets have gone the alternative medicine route. This also means feeding raw.

I do my research for my dogs. After following conventional vets for years, I know that isn't the place for my dogs.

Have you heard of a dog who has come down with salmonella, live bacteria etc. from eating raw? Bone splintering occurs if you feed cooked bones which you never do. Dog's stomachs are different from ours. No one if feeding their dogs rotten meat. I've never heard of a dog getting sick from raw. Again, I've done my research.

There are many vets, breeders, vet techs etc. who feed raw and they wouldn't go back.

No, the amount of poop is just an indicator of the amount of filler in kibble.

by: Anonymous

Dogs have been eating raw forever. They will eat a rabbit, mouse, bird, etc., if they can get it. That is more natural than dog food any day of the week. It's hard to come by when you live in the city, or you aren't a hunter, so dog food is a nessecity. But dogs love raw meat and bones. And their hair is beautiful and they gain weight better on a raw diet.

Raw is easily accessible in Canada now. Many entrepreneurs has discovered there is a need and want for raw and have started some great businesses. They deliver, too.

It only needs to be googled for your area.

Then there are butchers who also supply raw diet for dogs.

And, when you see sales are the grocery sale, it can be picked up there.

by: zienna

Dry dog food has only been around for about 100 years. Guess what dogs were eating before that, they were eating RAW food. Their systems are not like humans, they are made to consume things like that, as far as splintering bones that is if t he pork, chicken, or fish are cooked. They can consume raw bones they do not splinter. I have a chihuahua that when he was little had a high liver level the vet wanted to put him on medication, (not happening) with a raw diet his levels dropped to a normal level faster than that with the medication. So I do make my dogs foods.

As you must have read in all the comments, kibble is highly processed. It's sprayed in oil to make it enticing to dogs. Once the bag is opened,the oil begins going rancid. It must taste pretty bad.

There is much information about raw feeding on the comments. Here is an article by a vet about it.
