I think the deal with raw, for a lot of people, and, I suspect, for vets, is that it's very easy to leave out a key nutrient or three unless you are extremely careful and knowledgeable of what you are doing, and adhere to best practices religiously.
Vets have seen what happens when pets are fed, over the long haul, a diet that might be lacking only one vitamin, or one trace element - and the one thing you can say about commercial food is that even the least expensive food, as long as it meets AAFCO standards, is that it does have all the basic nutrients needed. You might not be able to say that about all raw productions, I think.
