I agree with, Tracy. I stopped feeding raw last year because I couldn't afford to do it but the way I see it is, I'd rather feed a pre-made than feed kibble. While they don't benefit entirely from chewing and bones, they're benefiting more than from kibble!
Saying that though, I think I do feed the pre-made more as a meat than as a balanced diet (if that makes sense), same with Sarah I believe.
I don't entirely trust the amount of organs in the mixes so I add more myself and they still get chicken carcass and ribs etc for chewing for their teeth!
ETA I'm saying pre-made but I mean grind! Or mince as we call it. Its supposed to be 80 10 10 but as I said, I like to give extra bone for teeth and organ because I know it doesn't have 5% liver and I can see chunks of organ so while Chaos might get a piece, Gambit might not so thats why I tend to feed as a meat rather than a complete diet. I've also worked out which ones are more bone heavy etc so I know which I can give on bone days.
