Why is raw better than cooked food?Updated 5 days ago

Dogs have short, simple digestive tracts and high levels of hydrochloric acid in their stomachs. They are anatomically designed to derive their nutrients from raw animal protein, fat, and bone. Cooking the food alters its makeup, causing essential nutrients and enzymes to become less bioavailable. In other words, with cooked foods, your dog has to work harder to get the nutrients he needs. With raw, you're feeding food in its most digestible state.
