I did quite a bit of research into it last year and decided to feed our rat terrier raw from the day we got her at 8 weeks. The results have been fantastic. Luckily there is a nearby place (Surrey Meat Packers) that makes dog food mixes in frozen 1lb bricks. She's on beef-chicken-bone-veg, and then I add a bit of natural yogurt and a salmon oil capsule once a day. Once a week she gets a raw egg cracked on top.
A few times a week she'll get a lamb neck section or the trimmings off a chicken (back, organs, chestplate) for her to clean her teeth.
She's in perfect health, full of energy, and everyone comments on how shiny she is. I would never go back to kibble. Cost is about $1 a day for a 15lb dog.
