Update 08/2006 - Never say never? ;o) I did go back to kibble. I still believe that a raw/natural diet is best, but for various reasons I had to switch back in December 2003. We are now feeding VéRUS brand dog food and have been very satisfied with the results! But for those looking for raw feeding resources, my links remain:

In July of 2001 I made the switch to a raw diet with my three boxers. The results were astonishing. In the process of learning how to feed and care for my dogs naturally with optimal health in mind, the following websites served as tremendous resources:
Natural Feeding References by Mary Straus Dog Feeding Info by Mary Straus Diets for specific health conditions by Mary Straus Lew Olson's holistic, natural supplements for dogs and cats
Natural Rearing The Ultimate in FAQ about feeding raw And even more FAQ! Seminars on feeding raw by Mary Straus
And, of course, no learning experience would be complete without the ongoing support of as many email lists as possible! ;o)
K9 Nutrition The Natural Boxer The list of BARF lists BARFing Boxers

Some other email communities that I enjoy:
