Since wild dogs and cats eat raw meat, I think it is a natural food source for them, but I do not feed my dogs an all-raw diet. I will give them a bite of raw meat or liver, or very lightly cooked meat, but I also feed dry dog food and table scraps. I think that this balances their diet out better than just having all of one thing, whether it is raw meat, or dry dog food.
By giving them a variety, they get some of the benefits of all the different foods. My dogs will usually try eating most anything that we are eating, at least a little bit of it. This way, they also get vegetables, and much fresher food than just having dry dog food.
The dry dog food is good to have in the bowl at all times, that way if they are hungry, they have something there to eat.
So, for me, it all works together.
