I read most of this thread, but not every word so shoot me if this was said already and this is an older thread, but I just found it.
What do you think wild animals eat? They eat other animals. Birds, chickens, small mammals, large mammals. Domestic dogs aren't really too far from wild animals and their bodies are designed to eat what they kill.
I've had 2 dogs that went on the 'raw foods diet' (I didn't find the exact book title in a quick search, but I'll find my copy in the next day or so and post the title). the point of the book is to feed dogs what they are designed to eat. Raw, uncooked, unprocessed food. My dogs get raw ground beef with vegetables (mostly carrots and zuchini) for their meals with a raw chicken leg or a beef knuckle as a snack every couple days. Yes it takes some time for the owner to get used to (and might take some time for the dogs body to adjust to just as it takes some dogs to get used to a new type of processed dog food)but my dogs have done much better since they started getting raw foods instead of processed dog food.
Yes, dogs can choke on bones. But people can choke on things to. I had a sister that choked on a hot dog. I had a friend that choked on a piece of chicken from KFC. So following the logic about dogs potentially choking... people should not have access to hot dogs or KFC or many of the other foods that people have had choking issues with in the past 100 years.
Do some research and come to your own conclusion about raw foods for animals.
