Yeah to Raw!
I hope it does the trick for Sadie. I know Denna loves it, and she's doing great with lots of solids in the yard. We used a probiotic when we made the transition. Not sure if it helped, but figured it couldn't hurt.
As for 'fresh-killed' meat, I've never heard that either. If anything, I hear the opposite. Especially for wild game (venison, elk, fish, etc.) FREEZE for a few weeks to kill off parasites.
I treat Denna's meat the same as ours - I get human grade stuff (other than green tripe) and rinse before use.
We keep to mixing our own meals and don't go the pre-made route here at home. It's nice to have available as a backup, and dehydrated might be the go-to product when Denna's being boarded. But, the dogs get a better benefit from whole meats versus ground. The big chunks of meat act as dental floss. Also, I'm a control freak. So, I'd rather know exactly what went into the food dish. And, if you're dealing with medical issues, there are some definite benefits in the control aspect as well.
