Ed, there is a reason that I don't feed raw. (Please understand, I am not condeming anyone that prefers to feed the raw.) Your "vet" opinion is funny because my vet is one that dislikes the risks. Over a 2 year period, he lost 3 dogs that came to the clinic, gravely sick. They all tested positive for food poisoning. He hates to see an animal die when there is no excuse for it. He will not now take, as a regular customer, a dog that is being fed raw. Unlike you, I am not condeming anyone with other opinions - but I have the right to have my opinions without being lectured.
