as for raw food there are added risks involved with this. It is a bit of a crap shoot whether they will develop parasites from this so saying it is better in the end is very debatable. It's not something you can just switch your dog onto either you would have to slowly work it in.
We all know that dogs naturally ate raw meats when they were on their own and not domesticated but they also didn't live much past 5 or 6 years old back in those days either so giving them some vegetables and some kibble with high nutrients is only going to help them as it does us.
cooking meat extended our lifespans at one point, it does the same for other mammals as well ;)

I have been eating and also feeding raw beef, bison, and chicken to my dogs for years now and never had an issue or been sick once. The trick is to get the meat fresh. Do you realize that the meat you get served to you in even the nice restaurants and at the upscale super markets has been dead for about 2 weeks before it is served to you? Now that is fucking gross.
I get my meats the same day the animal is slaughtered.
