Just wanting some opinions.
After an eye opening discussion on another forum, I've realise that Rosie's Royal Canin dog food contains BHA, shown to have carcinogenic effects on triuals in lab rats
So, I've been out to the pet shop and found this 'Nature's menu' raw nuggets, made from raw chicken, tripe, heart liver and veg.
Honey also has Nature's Menu, but the cooked pouch ones, as raw just doesn't agree with her (believe me I've tried ) and she looks fantastic. Rosie can't have the pouches really as they are quite low fat and she can't physically eat enought to keep her weight up!
What do you Raw diet people reckon?
Thanks in advance and sorry for waffling on!
Here's a link in case anyone is interested http://www.naturesmenu.co.uk/products/frozen/banquet-nuggets/index.php ____________ Georgia, Honey Bear, Rosie, Obi, Timber, Mia, Oscar and Mango XXXX

As a raw feeder I can't ever recommend feeding anything other than raw! I do however, understand your dilemma and obviously won't judge you as its up to you.
All dog foods, even the one you have put a link to, will still contain nasties, as the 'meat' in there is not meat that was ever deemed fit to be put on the human food chain, and even the stuff for humans can be dodgy.... Cooking food for dogs has a carciogenic effect itself anyway.
What I would suggest is you join the yahoo raw feeding group and read up on www.rawfed.com as its normal for some dogs to take a while to adjust.
Sorry I can't be of much use, and that dog food defiently looks better than any thers I've seen, so prehaps someone else will be of more use.
