It's a common belief that commercial cat and dog food contains artificial preservatives, unnecessary fillers and other unhealthy ingredients (which is
partially true) and that
raw meat diet would be a more natural choice for the dog.
My cats have been thriving for the past 11 years on a
diet that I prepare using either ground whole carcass rabbit (fed
raw) from a reputable farm, or whole
meats (chicken thighs) from Whole Foods Market that I grind myself after
partially baking.
