Why did you go to a raw diet? Did it help? Why did you stop?I rawfed for little over a year, so this is from experience as well as research.
DH is looking at "making" our dog's meals here at home, versus buying dog food. A friend of ours makes their dog's food. Their dog is about 20 pound overweight, but I don't know if that's the reason, or if she just doesn't get enough exercise.
