While there are certain benefits to raw feeding over commercial dog food, such as giving you more customizability with what ingredients you’d want to put in and making sure it’s all fresh, I personally tend to stray away from them. There’s the obvious factors of it taking a lot more time to prepare and it being more expensive, but raw food diets can also be potential health hazards, especially with things like barely fresh chicken. Sure, our meat is kept to a higher standard than most countries’, but uncooked meat still poses a potential risk of parasites finding their way into your dog’s body or some other disease hurting his well being. Everyone knows how much of a nightmare it can be to have a house dog have a particularly loose stool or just outright diarrhea and having to clean that mess up. On top of all that, it also depends on how much you can actually find as dogs on raw diets often end up not having their nutritional needs met unless you’re using supplements to make up for it. In any case, my personal take is that I wouldn’t recommend it, but if you have the money for it and can manage it, a raw meat diet can be a decent alternative, if you make sure that the meat is properly cooked first.
