Although raw feeding can be great for your pets health, it can be costly, and time consuming for you. There are now so many grain free foods on the market, I don't think raw is the only healthy way to go. It's all up to you what you feed your dog.

Read up on each. If you are going to feed vegetables and fruits raw with your feedings do not use Avocado,Apple core,grapes,raisins,mushroom or too much liver. A lot of fruit have a tendency to make dogs have diarrhea. First decide if you want to go Raw Prey Model diet or the BARF. Read up on each.
