Actually there have been several recently documented cases of dogs dieing from eating raw. Another group I'm on several dogs have gotten sick. Also there are nutritional questions. A raw diet done right supplemented with vegetables and the right vitamins is probably fine if you can garantee the meat is ok. I don't know anyone that can gaurantee that 100%. Chihuahuas are the most different from thier raw meat eating wolf cousins of any dog breed. Also dogs haven't ate raw meat for generations. These are also things to consider.
