My plan is not perfect by any stretch. It has evolved over time. Although I believe the raw plan is much better I can't really say I saw the detriment of feeding from a bag. I am in that category of "what could have been". The dogs I fed bag food to may have lived another year, maybe produced another few years and been in better health, maybe. I have been lucky to have never had a pit dog with food allergies, or needed a more sensitive type feed.

I believe raw is better for no more reason than it is closer to what the dog would eat in the wild, especially in comparison to the bag. With that said, there needs to be balance, which is what they get in nature. And even then I use the multivitamin just because my plan is not one of the high end raw feedings. I mix things up and some days there is no veggie mix, just meats.

After that my next reasoning would be the dogs seem to stay closer to a natural weight. And that may just be my opinion but it sure seems that way. Due to the ease of digestion/assimilation there is less cleanup, but for me less cleanup is a lesser point compared to the dog carrying less waste during the day/. (if that makes sense).

Sorry for the babbling. EWO
