i have to say this food is by far my favorite to feed to my dogs! not sure why it's in the raw sections as it's not really a raw diet, but lightly 'cooked' during the dehydration process. since the price is cost prohibitive, i use this as a 'topper' to my dogs premium kibble. i use 1 ounce of force per meal for each dog with the remainder of the calories from kibble and fresh protein sources. my dogs absolutely love this food! since i'm feeding 3 med and 1 large sized dogs, i can't afford to feed it exclusively...or i would! i highly, highly recommend it!!
