I have a Maltese/ shiztu mix she is about 5 pounds. I was wondering if a raw diet was a good idea. I was looking at Ollie dog food. She does well with Kahoots brand all stages. What is your advice?

I personally do not like raw diets. They are hard to get balanced correctly, and there is a risk of salmonella and E.coli poisoning to both the dog and owner. Patches would be fine on dry dog food. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps!
