Sort of a poll, I guess.
What's better?
A) Feeding my dog Solid Gold: Barking at the Moon dog food, and feed him raw /once/ a week?
(or)
B) Feeding my dog Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul dog food, and feed him raw /twice/ a week?
Chicken Soup has a 4/6 star rating. And Solid Gold: BatM has a 6/6 star rating and has no grains.

Well, feeding him raw once a week won't hurt anything. I already feed him Chicken Soup a raw twice a week. In fact, he gets raw today. =P I only feed him once a day (as that's what he prefers) And he has a whole 24 hours to digest the dry or raw food, so neither of them get in the way of each other. He's been doing great on it. And it really keeps his teeth clean. I don't know how I'd keep his teethe clean if I didn't feed him raw....

Oh, and Solid Gold: BatM is the ONLY super premium dog food with no grans that they sell at any stores over here. It's actually sold at Petco over here. And I don't know where I'd get Canidae....

Either food is great.They both have fantastic ingredients so in the long run it is a matter of personal choice and which one you have easiest access to.
Feeding raw is great too...There are people that feed a total raw diet and then there are some that alternate like you are thinking of doing and then still others that feed a morning meal of kibble and a night meal of raw with much success..Just remember not to feed raw & kibble at the same meal.

I would choose A) and forget the raw.. Mixing food back and forth is likely to cause stomach upset.. Stick to one or the other..
I found ( I have Dobermans ) that the Chicken Soup wasn't a good food for our dogs.. It makes them look really crappy, oily coats and scruffy looking..
But I would also save the money and I would buy something like Canidae.. The price is reasonable.. It's a great quality food. Human ingredients, no corn, no wheat, no poison cancer causing preservatives..
The Copper Sulfate in both foods is a FUNGICIDE.. No place for that in dog food.. They must have had problems with the food developing fungus???

People think feeding raw is good...until they end up in the vets office with their dog. A homemade cooked dog food diet is the best. I use all the recipes in the book I go on amazon called Woofing it Down, and that book tells you why a raw diet isn't good.

def chicken soup for the dog lover's soul with raw food twice a week. because you feed raw more so that's a plus that beats no grains. Once you do stop raw hopefully your dog won't stop eating the kibble

Forget the Chicken Soup and the raw. Both are not good for dogs. Stick to a premium or well known name brand food. I've used Science Diet and Purina for over 20 years and my dogs easily live into their mid to late teens. All very healthy.

Both are alright. And I'd be very careful about feeding raw to dogs. Homecooked meals are better

If you want to buy either, I think that they are both great foods.
