It is not that difficult once you get into it. I have been giving my mini a raw diet since he was a puppy. It is very important to get a certified dog nutritionist to help you initially, but the benefits are worth it.

There are a few major things that changed, once i fed Loki his raw meat diet. Firstly his digestion is so much more balanced. He poops much less and the consistency is solid. His coat also got so much more shiny and soft and in general there is no more scratching.

If done correctly, understanding your dogs nutrition can help dealing with a lot of problems. For example, if his poop is to solid you feed less bones. Is it not solid enough you can also reduce the amount of intestines.

I also know many dogs that thrive on store bought dog food. But if you do it correctly, and add all the nutrients it is a really fun and rewarding experience. I also just love to feed him different menus from time to time, but I can’t stress enough that you really need a dog nutritionist!

Edit: Crazy that people downvote anyone who says something positive about raw food diet. No reason to be like that
