    Just a few words of warning:
    a) Make sure you never ever feed your pets cooked bones. Period.
    b) Dogs are actually omnivores like us, not true carnivores like cats, so bare that in mind.
    c) It's all very well and good to say "that's what they'd be eating in the wild" but these aren't wild animals, they've become domesticated over thousands of years and their dietary needs have adapted along with them.
    Having said that, good luck to those of you who choose to partake!

    I agree, however animals and humans haven't evolved to require man made additives. I think this raw food diet is probably similar but without the unnecessary "extras" that the pet food companies need to add to make their products keep well and look good despite not using premium ingredients.
