I made the jump to RAW a couple years ago and could not be more happy with the decision. My dogs are healthier and happier and never leave any food in the bowl at feeding time. I honestly have not had a sick dog since I made the switch on one dog that had been diagnosed with cancer prior to the switch is still with me and doing great.
Books I would recommend for thinking about making the jump would be as follows:
Canine Nutrigenomics by W Jean Dodds, DVM and Diana R. Laverdure. This is the book that finally got me to make the switch after thinking and researching the idea for a couple years. This book has become my Bible so to speak.
Give Your Dog a Bone by Dr. Ian Billinghurst
Raw and Natural Nutrition for Dogs by Lew Olson, PHD
Common Herbs for Natural Health by Juliette de Bairacli Levy
The Dog Cancer Survival guide by Dr. Demian Dressler, DVM
There are more but these are the books I keep handy when looking to make any changes to my dogs diet.
