It is common knowledge and spouted on this board as well as others I have frequented that raw and dry food don't digest at the same rate and you should never feed them together.
Recently though I have seen a movement away from this theory.
Does anyone have any studies or "evidence" that feeding raw at the same time as kibble is dangerous and/or ill advised?
It just doesn't make sense to me at all. If it were true, people (who have a much weaker stomach acid than dogs) would not be able to eat dry cereal for example with raw foods such as raw salmon on a bagel or a barely cooked egg.
I think this may be a myth that has been perpetuated over time and now everyone thinks it's true. I personally know of dry feeders who will use raw chicken as a topper and their dogs are FINE. Never had a bit of trouble with digestion.
What do you think?
