Raw Meat Diets for Cats and Dogs

Are raw diets a fad or are they here to stay? I think they are here to stay. Honestly this scares me. Please understand, I am not fully opposed to the diets. I feel for some animals they can be beneficial. What worries me is the lack of education and knowledge the general person feeding a raw diet has. Good quality processed foods contain everything a dog or cat needs to be healthy and little in the way of additives or unnecessary preservatives. Are raw diets safer than a high quality processed kibble? Maybe they are or maybe not. Should the average person try to make their raw diets? No. It takes time, dedication, lots of research and fully understanding the pros and cons.
