RAW diets use uncooked slightly cooked meat, bones, fruits, and vegetables to mimic the natural foods eaten by the domesticated dog’s wild ancestors. While opposition still exists, the benefits of a RAW diet are numerous.
Chewing raw, meaty bones results in clean, white teeth with virtually no “dog breath.” Many commercially-fed dogs experience painful periodontal diseases such as gingivitis and abscesses - even with regular brushing and flossing. Skin disorders heal, and dogs develop thick, healthy coats. Owners of RAW-fed dogs report improved temperments with an increased ability to focus on training.

I mix this with Embark and Force so I don't really know how much the dogs like it by itself. I like the ingredients.

I try to be very well informed regarding dog food ingredients, i'm a pet groomer and boarding kennel owner and often discuss pet foods with clients.
This is the best product i've found for our 2 dachshunds and small poodle, no one has itchy skin anymore. Not even the Chinese Crested.
Very convenient to use, it smells wonderful.

My two dogs (boxers) love this food. I give them each a half a patty every other day and just decrease their dry food by 1 cup. They scarf this down and I feel better supplementing their processed food with something REAL! We haven't had any digesting upset with this slow switch.

Fritz loves it and it seems to agree with him. I haven't done any research as of yet on raw food for dogs but, intend to do so. I'm wondering if it's a good thing that there's less residue creating less poop, of course. Right now I'm feeding him half of the suggested amount of the raw lamb and half of the suggested daily amount of Origen. I'm doing this partially because I think the dry food is probably better for keeping his teeth clean. Luckily, he eats the raw first because he apparently prefers it and them eats the dry. I feed him half and half at the same meal twice a day.
