I use to exclusively feed raw to mine - Natures Variety but of course my picky ones tired of it. KCee will eat it fine and Snoopy devours it. Dogs process food a bit differently than humans and they have the enzymes necessary to handle the raw. We on the other hand have a slower digestive system then dogs and cannot handle the bacteria. I do keep Stella & Chewy's on hand and also sell it. It is much of a less mess then the frozen. The stool from the raw comes out dry and small because the dogs are absorbing most of the nutrients. I would make sure though that your fluff has a healthy liver before feeding them raw. The prey model is even better for them but mine just looked at me like I was crazy when I tried feeding them that. Snoopy on the other hand got rid of his skin allergies eating the prey model. JMHO
