I am sorry but it is only a business for many of vets. The commercial dog food is like McDonalds for human. Processed and low in natural nutrition. All kind of meat, skin, scraps, grains are cooked into the mass beyond the recognition. Then shapeed and sprayed with fat and synthetic vitamins and preservatives. The true is that human are not eating well and it is the same for dogs. Dogs and diabetes ? Dogs had no amylase in their saliva, enzym responsible for breaking carbohydrates like us or caws. A minimal amount is in their intestines to help them to get all needed nutritions from intestines of grass eating pray. Dog will live on kibble but not thrive. Food hygiene is a key to keep humans safe. According to many tests you are more likely to get salmonella from kibble. And ..'The gastric acidity (gastric PH) of the stomach of a dog or cat eating a diet predominantly made up of raw meat is very low (very acidic), with a PH of 2 or lower (relative to the level of meat protein). This highly acidic environment favours the breakdown of raw meats, and raw bones, into soft digestible material. The low PH also is highly effective at killing bacteria, particularly potentially pathogenic bacteria like salmonella spp, clostridia, campylobacter and E Coli. So the natural ‘wild” diet of dogs an cats has evolved a gastric environment that favours the breakdown of raw meats, raw bones, and a PH that kills potentially harmful bacteria – consistent with the requirements of carnivores, and in particular, the scavenging nature of dogs.'
The other issue is water, excessive drinking all day. Raw fed dogs drink very little due to getting fluid from the meat. And one more '. Some vets are cautious about raw feeding because very little nutritional advice is given whilst they're studying to become a vet. They simply don't know enough about raw food and diets to be able to make a judgement or give advice. Most of the education they do receive, is focused upon processed foods, because that's what most of their clients feed. Another reason why some vets might be cautious about raw feeding, is that many vets are sponsored by processed pet food companies and sell their products.' You are what you eat - and it applies to humans and dogs. If people are making millions why give it up ?
