New dogs next door - My dog is freaking out

Don't mean to derail the dog thread, but NA's mention of raw diet for dogs makes me wonder about Tango. Tango has been on dry food since I brought her home. She needs to be on a more restrictive diet, even with "indoor formula" she's still putting on weight. My vet suggested wet food. Well, she will have none of that. Is there a reliable and healthy raw food for cats?

I'm not NA but I believe Nature's Variety makes a pre-made raw diet for cats as well as dogs.

In general, I really like NV's products. I usually feed their Prairie brand kibble (with 2 40+lb, 1 20lb and 80lb dog, pre-made raw is cost prohibitive and I really don't have time for homemade) and I really like the results I see. They also have an in-between product, Instinct, which is a grain free kibble. I've only used it with my cats though (who refused to have anything to do with it).

Thanks Whitney, I just took a look and see it. I've got to find the pet place in SF that carries it. It's worth a try. My little Tango is not so little and quite the butterball these days. Still adorable, but I do not want a diabetic cat.
