you are experimenting on your pet
commercial foods don't have a great deal of research behind them either. Apparently they don't have safty checks either - can we say pet food recall? i knew we could.
Most "complete and balanced" foods were tested on pets for six months. They didn't die, so they figure they are good enough.
they are out there because they are easy.. not because they are the healthiest option for your pets.
it is sad that we as a public can not get research done on either the raw or the commercial foods. We can't get the companies to lable their foods with their exact content. Getting them to even reply when you request it can sometimes be like pulling teeth. then there are the pet food companies that put ingredients in their product that are known toxins to pets (like garlic in cat food) it is a shame.
