    Thanks for the rec Doolittle.
    Yes, my ferrets are indeed on a raw diet. They're obligate carnivores.
    My dog is however, not on a raw diet (yet).
    She's still a young pup. Feeds on Taste of the Wild and supplemented some raw+bone.
    When I say cooking I mean 2 minutes in a pressureless steamer. Enough to firm it up just a tough and kill or weaken most nasty stuff.

    I also believe that the destroying of nutrition by lightly cooking is overstated just as it is about freezing rodents in the reptile hobby. None the less that is why I moved to a 50% raw, 50% kibble diet to cover any gaps created by cooking or in my raw diet.
