You are right about that, plus some people don't practise good hygine when dealing with raw meat. I was talking to a vet that said for some dogs, too much fat can cause pancreatitis very easily, so if you don't have the correct proportions, it can be dangerous to your dog.

You know what would be nice, is if vets, instead of simply stating raw shouldn't be fed, should do up pamphlets of proper recipes and hygene to train people properly.
