I'm in NZ and we feed our dog raw meat we get at a pet food store. The store owner said that when Kiwis started feeding their dogs commercial food, the vets started seeing health problems they'd never encountered before, as well as more health problems. Raw meat is a common diet in NZ for cats and dogs from what I understand, and our vet recommends it. It's cheaper and our pets prefer it.

The breeder I bought my dog from convinced me to feed my dog raw meat. I did so for one year and finally had to stop because he was getting sick too often.
I think the problem is finding a good source. Many dogs have died from this diet and every vet I went to gave me a really hard time about it. I read all the literature and believed in the theory, but in practice it wasn't working for my dog.
