Hello,

One of the most common topics among the many questions we receive is raw dog food.

Dogs have been eating raw food throughout their entire existence, both ancestrally as wolves and for the 30,000 years or so that humans have domesticated them. But, in recent decades, it's become less popular due to the advent of convenient and cost-effective kibble and canned food.

Now, though, it's back in the mainstream and is increasing in popularity. It's not scraps from the butcher these days; highly sophisticated companies sell raw dog food on a national scale.

So, what are raw food’s benefits and risks?

Dog Food Advisor put some of the questions we most frequently get asked by readers to Amy Zalneraitis, the CBO at We Feed Raw, a 5-star-rated food on DFA.
