Alternatives To A Raw Diet - USA

We often get asked what the next best thing to feeding a raw diet is; this is a difficult question to answer as raw feeding has health benefits like no other, but if you cannot raw feed we always recommend feeding a balanced lightly cooked diet whether that is pre made or home cooked. Feeding real fresh food will always be the best for your dogs’ health and wellbeing whether it is raw or lightly cooked. So, what if neither of these options a currently possible?
