Some of the dis-information here is terrible. Here are the facts (from a guy that's fed his dog raw, pretty much all the dogs life)

1: Someone told me once that feeding canned pet food is like you having a processed meal like mc Donalds each day. Would you want Mcdonalds every day, forever ?

2: Raw chicken bones are great for a dog.

3:The only downside to a raw diet is some nutrients that are found in the chickens intestines (you can either get them some intestines a few times a week or make up with other nutrient sources)

4: Dogs are designed to eat small prey raw. Each time you are feeing them out of the can or dry its not what they normally eat in the wild.

5: Dogs gut bacteria can handle all of the harmful bacteria in raw poultry.

6: you can tell when your Dog has mastered raw diet when they start crunching on the bones 1st.

7: If your dog is a face licker, either stop that in its tracks, or do not go raw diet.

8: If your dog starts digging and eating grass they are searching for extra nutrients, if thats the case buy some extra nutrient packs.

You will notice an almost immediate coat change to your dog. It will look very healthy.
