Raw or Cooked Food for Dogs

There are three basic types of home made food people make for their dogs: Cooked, BARF (Bones and Raw Food) and Prey Model. Cooked is the obvious; cooked foods (though I don't recommend this approach, as cooking kills a lot of good nutrients that are in foods), BARF which is raw meat, bones, veggies, fruit etc., and Prey Model is strictly raw meat and bones with no veggies, fruit, grains etc.

NOTE: There will be controversial information between all three diets. Some will tell you never to feed veggies, fruits and grains, while others will tell you its okay. It's up to YOU to do the research and decide which diet is best for your dog.
