Raw feeding is a species appropriate diet that is completely natural for dogs, and can be traced back to their ancestors, wolves and wild dogs. If you study a dogs anatomy, you will find that it hasn't changed, but sadly their diets have which is causing major health issues. A dogs digestive system is naturally designed to digest meat, offal and bone, all of which can be found in a natural, raw diet.
