i serve everthing raw.. nothing cooked at all.. after all BARF diet means Biologically Appropriate Raw Food.. cooked bones breaks easier in their intestine apparently.. read up lots of articles saying that actually.. cooked food contains less nutrients thus its not encourage and it has less water content inside thus creating the kibble problem (drinking lots of water because its dry)

the bacterias dont harm the dog like it harms us humans because their stomach is more acidic than ours and their intestinal tract is much shorter thus less chance for bacteria lingering around

my dogs have been on such diets almost since they were born.. doing very well and can see the difference in their coating (shiny appearance and smooth hair) compared to others since they are adopted mutts..
