The beef over pet food

Bowser gets raw meat because wolves eat it in the wild. Tabby gets raw chicken because lions don't eat kibble. But vets say the recent trend of raw feeding is dangerous to pets and people.

    Where's the research?

    Good lord. You can love your pets and feed them commercial dog food. I've tried to find scientific, non-partisan, long term studies by researchers comparing raw food to commercial dog food and haven't found anything that has clearly said that raw foods are the best. If you want to believe that all commercial dog foods are "crap" that's your perogative, obviously. But, if I don't see any reputable research that says the same and my dogs are thriving, I'll stick to what I'm currently feeding them because it's obviously working great for my dogs.
