well if your going to cook the food then your going to have to feed rice or bones or something to make the poo not runny. i ran into this with sarah when i had to feed her boiled chicken when she had a severe reaction to the dog food i was feeding. i was afraid to feed the rice with it as she maybe allergic to rice. so it was boiled chicken and cooked hamburger for like a week. well she got severe diarrhea from it so we put he back on kibble. she did do much better on the boiled chicken and hamburger with her allergies. but you must feed something with it also it seems.
