I've been feeding 1/2 raw and 1/2 kibble, mixed together in the same bowl, for years with excellent results, including bitches in whelp. The digestion rate thing is a wive's tale. There is no proof to that, BUT, there is new bloat information, now, that says mixing human meat (it didn't say cooked or raw, though) with kibble reduces your chances of bloat. "Food" for thought...
