From my experience, I think that commercial raw dog food probably has less nutritional value than home made, because it isn't served immediately. Nutritional degradation occurs in any food left for any period of time prior to consumption. Missing nutrients? I'd say that would be a risk if you are feeding the same food from the same manufacturer every day, raw or otherwise. Personally, I rotate vegetables and the kind of high-grade kibble I feed, to increase nutrient variety. It's not a perfect science. Heck, even we as humans occasionally have a tendency to eat the same things daily.

ETA: ButchEire, Do you think that there are a number of raw food diet makers who do not do this well? That are missing things?
