Raw food for a puppy questions

[PitOnTheProwl]

I'm just curious here, what are the benefits of feeding raw?

Health, but you have to remember a raw /barf diet is only as healthy as how the food was raised.
Demodex for one can go away on a balanced barf diet. Most allergies found in our dogs too.

I've seen a lot of really good quality dry dog food that's definitely more economical than raw food.

None, I don't care what you read or are told about manufactured dog foods.
The only reason we are back to using Blue is cost. At $65 a bag its still not cheap but the markets around here got smart and upped their pricing on all the scraps.
