I feed Nova Royal Cannin puppy food currently, she seems to be doing well with it. I have come across lot of people advocating for raw food. What's your opinion on it? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | spayed | 3 months and 27 days old | 54.3 lbs

Hello again! Royal Canin is a high quality food, so if Nova is doing well with it, I'd recommend continuing to feed it. There are conflicting opinions about feeding a raw diet, but most veterinarians recommend against it as there is an increased potential for gastrointestinal illness in both your dog and you (the preparer) from handling raw meats, and the benefits don't tend to outweigh the risks. If you'd like more information on safely feeding raw diets, here's a link to the FDA's recommendations for handling raw and undercooked foods meant for pet consumption: https://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/Transparency/Basics/ucm206814.htm Remember, it's always best to consult with your vet before making a diet change, as your pet's individual needs should be taken into consideration. Best of luck, and I hope Nova grows up to be a happy, healthy dog!
