Bump!
I know people who are against raw feeding like to use the argument that there is no "scientific evidence" backing the benefits of raw food, but in my opinion, what these people fail to realize is that a very important part of science is anecdotal information or real life observation. In fact, under some philosophies of science, this kind of evidence would hold greater weight than a controlled laboratory study. Since corporations and the people at the top (the ones with the money) are not willing to fund research on the topic, I think it's important for us as a community to share our experiences and educate one another.
So, my experience so far:
I have only tried freeze dried raw with my kitten and unfortunately his tummy couldn't handle it. He had very soft and frequent stools on both brands I tried. I'm going to be trying some frozen commercial raw soon and I'll update with the results.
