Thousands, if not millions, of cat and dog owners feed their pets what they consider to be the most natural diet. Properly devised, it is a safe and healthy diet. Commercial dog food became popular around the 1950's, and most brands include a lot of grains. Savvy dog and cat owners who feed commercial food carefully read the labels, and choose to feed what is called "super premium" food. You can't buy super premium food at the grocery store or big box stores. I suspect that, without being aware of raw feeding, you might have misunderstood that this dog, or even its entire breed, must be fed a raw diet. That's not accurate, though.

Many people who feed raw swear against feeding corn, soy, wheat, and low quality meat byproducts and meat meals.|||The significance of feeding a dog raw meat is that a dog is a carnivore and lacks the ability to cook, so raw meat is what its body is supposed to digest.
