I also feed raw to my dog and cats. I absolutely love it also. I feed a combination of commercial bought food and homemade food. It is important to do research or else you can harm or even kill your pet if not done right. But it is not that hard once you get the basics down.my dog is 13 years old and has hit dysplasia, she has been on raw for seven years now and I feel she has done so well because of the raw diet. It is not a cure-all but it sure is great for most dogs. I know several people who feed it and all have had great luck.
You lose a lot of the nutrients when you cook it. Basically I just keep all the containers for the dog and cat food separate from my food containers and use good handwashing techniques and sanitation to keep things clean.dogs aren't affected nearly as much by things like salmonella because the food doesn't stay in your system very long. Just think about the really disgusting things they eat at the park
cats are a little more touchy about things like that though.from the research I have done if people cook the food they have to put in a lot of supplements to make up for the cooking process. Heck I don't even cook for myself I'm not can cook for my animals I like the idea of raw and it has worked very well for my pets.
