A Raw Diet Good for Dogs?

A few months ago I met a lady who told me she only fed her dogs raw meat, bones and all. I was surprised because  I had always heard that chicken bones were bad for dogs, but then she told me that only cooked chicken bones are bad, because then they become brittle. We had had our little dog for about 5 months and he would eat a little dog food and go and eat some later, but never a lot at one time. I came home and read online about the raw diet for dogs and that night I was cooking chicken. So I cut the back up into 2 pieces and gave it to our little miniature dashhound. He ate it up! He didn't stop like he did with his dog food, he stayed and ate it all until it was gone. I began thinking about how dogs love to catch and eat chickens. It's their instinct! God put that in them but men have told us we need to buy the food that is processed for them. So our little dog began eating food he really likes and what he was created to eat.  It's been neat seeing what he likes and what he doesn't. When we fed him dog food, we didn't know he preferred anything. But now we know that he hates vegetables and potatoes, but he loves raw sausage and hamburger meat and chicken. Give him any bone and he'll eat it. I also read that feeding your dog a raw diet will also help to keep the fleas away. Just like when we humans eat sugar, it attracts insects through our skin, when a dog eats raw food, it's not appetizing to fleas.
