It's a hanger on from the days when everyone said dogs can't digest carbs . 

Bone digests at a different rate to skin, toenails etc etc 

She don't care.

Skinners wasn't bad when I was in Blighty. Here, I tend to feed raw more than anything due to the state of kibble (a decent brand will break the bank at 60€ a smallish bag)

Those pig trotters are a God send in the mountains. Plenty of fats and meat to keep them going, added with a bit of fatty/meaty butcher scraps. He'll easily go through a kilo and a trotter a day, when we go high up and never looks bad or loses condition and we can be away and at it, for days

Just quick update been feeding my 3 lurchers on Royal Canin for last 6weeks just gradually adding more each week & cutting back on raw. They still get meat with it but get just kibble 2/3 times a week. Shit been firm but a lot less of it? Ive always thought they all had good coats but have noticed coats improved.  I know winter coats coming through but still better than usual.  Energy levels good aswell Atb

I gave the Lidl stuff a go after reading on here about it and it went through my spaniels like a hot ball bearing thru butter. Tried it dry had weird yellowish shit, tried it soaked and got sloppy yellowish shit. Back to Dr Johns and no prob. Also boil up chicken mince with veg and pasta or rice with no problems.

Dr johns gold doesn't seem to have a good rep with lurcher lads but plenty gundogs up n down the country seem to thrive on it?know a fair few that use it, I don't know anyone that uses lidl so can't comment on it.

I’ve tried that complete from Lidl aswell over the summer a few years ago and also couldn’t believe how well they looked off it, kept good shine on the coat and had small firm poo think it was only about £7 a bag

I to tried a bag of this as a mixer just based on good reviews n I found they liked it n there stools was easy to pick up aswell as not goin to much only drawback for me was they didn't seem to be able to maintain weight on it..

Does raw actually make that much of a difference than a kibble that suits your dog? Yes dogs evolved from the wolf but in by doing so they became more accustomed to carbs by living with humans. Even wolves don't just eat meat alone. 

What advantages do you actually see? They don't live any older or anything so what improves?

Won’t go far wrong with a mix of both, I think they generally look better when they’re getting meat as well.

Dont think one or the other is the answer because feeding purely a BARF diet I’ve noticed they struggle to hold weight when they’re being worked hard
