hey guys I wanted to put in my .02. I recently just did a lot of research on dog food and considered raw. I was going to seriously consider it but what scared me is the fear of ecoli poisoning. Ecoli does not occur in the wild with fresh kills so dogs are not built to handle it. I talked to my vet and he said its not a good idea. I am still not sure though and would still consider it though.

With so many recalls on dog food and all the junk they put in there for fillers and to preserve them for shelf life I wanted to make sure they were fed a healthy diet. I found an awesome food called Earthborn Holistic Primitive natural. Its a high protein and grain free diet that might help with the skin and stinky poop issues. I feed it to all 4 of my dogs and they look sooo healthy and they feel better now too. The older ones were getting fat with the food they were on but since I changed it they have lost the fat weight and have been getting more muscle. The protein content in Earthborn is 38% vs.about 11% in other normal foods like pedigree. Petsmart does not sell it but I know Polly's does for about $48 for a 30 lb bag. The beauty about this food is you don't have to feed the dog as much so it lasts longer.

I think I'm going to do a poll on raw meat diets.
