you're definitely not alone, even if not many people post, they still raw-feed their furkids
i would first try feeding whole raw meaty bones (+organ meats, in the recommended amounts) and if that works, you're all set! the only reason i grind my mixes is that i have fussy dogs who don't eat enough raw on their own to maintain a good weight, so i have to feed it to them (big babies....)... and the only way to do that is to use "mush".
