My Danes were weaned onto raw, and that's all they've ever eaten. It's a little more work than opening a bag and pouring, but knowing that my boys are eating a high-quality, correct diet gives me a little extra peace of mind, especially when dealing with the needs of a giant breed that is prone to bloat. I will never again feed kibble to a dog if I can avoid it, and haven't in more than 10 years. Not to say that all kibble is junk - there's certainly some good stuff out there. I simply feel that raw is the *absolute best* option available, and my boys deserve nothing less than that.
