I use both complete and raw but go for a lower protein when on an adult diet than the 28% puppy, I use a couple at around 24% and if feeding a lot of raw then even lower or a dog meal/biscuit rather than complete. Dogs do very well on a balenced diet that contaions appropriate protein, fat and carbs and it doesn't realy matter where they come from, cooked, raw etc as long as they are there and digestable, so complete with some raw or raw with biscuit, pasta etc or just complete with table scraps just as long as there is an appropriate amount of protein, fat and carbs.

I'm just waiting for some tit to post the usual 'don't mix dry and raw, different digestion rates blah blah blah' chestnut.
