Dogs have been domesticated over hundreds and thousands of years. So, unlike wolves, they don’t need a raw diet in order to survive. However, there have been studies that state there are some benefits to a raw diet.  Of course, there’s no harm in trying a raw diet, but talk to your dog’s veterinarian first. That way, you can know what nutrients your Border Collie will need on a daily basis.  Also, always know the source of the ingredients in the raw diet you feed your Border Collie. Tainted ingredients or sources can cause Helminthosis (from parasites in the food), or gastrointestinal problems.
