Honestly I'm not sure. I cannot stand to touch raw meat (yes I know I'm weird) so I'd have to use gloves. That's not really my issue though. Nebo has a very sensitive stomach, with other foods he's had some diarrhea problems. When he was on a different food (regular formula Natural Balance) he had that problem so bad he ended up going in the house several times. I changed his food (Nat. Balance venison and brown rice) and that problem stopped. I just really don't want to screw that up and my parents would NOT be happy if it happened again. The main ingredient in the other formula was chicken so I'm wondering if he's allergic to chicken? *It is possible something else have caused it and not the food ingredients, the vet didn't find anything wrong with him though* I'm also worried about him choking or chipping a tooth on a bone. I don't need bones to keep his teeth clean, I brush them.

Umm I guess my answer is I would consider trying it if I could find raw venison, convince myself to not be grossed out and paranoid by raw meat/bones, and I had the time to prepare it and a place to put it.

I have one question, is a home cooked diet not as healthy as raw? Is it at least better than kibble?
