Kelly...as far as the ground or not I guess for me it is just a matter of peace of mind. I would imagine you may be right to some extent...but not enough of a difference for me to take a risk with such a little one...and with Myrtle not really eating through bones she wasn't getting enough bone to meat ratio...so grinding works until she can.

It really makes little difference whether it is >ground or not! Just because a dog is fed raw food does not mean that they will have good teeth. I disagree that it makes no difference whether it is ground or not. My dogs definitely have nicer looking teeth when eating whole items vs ground. -- Kelly
