I feed raw to my French Bulldog - Pearl. My pomeranians don't get it simply because they won't eat it. I know most people that feed raw feed whole bones also. I however have them ground into the meat because I am a worrywort. I can say that I notice a difference in Pearl when she eats kibble. She gets it every once in a while as a snack in the afternoon. French Bulldogs are notoriouse for gas and Pearl's is much worse when she eats anything commercially produced. If she just gets her raw, she doesn't have the flatuance.
