Sorry if no one has responded to your posts Gloria. I don't normally read the Raw food posts since I don't feed raw to my dogs. Not saying that it is bad or good, I just choose not to feed it. I had a hard enough time mixing up my meatloaf tonight for my dh and boys... lol. They all love meat and I can't stand to touch it! ~Lacey
