That’s a dangerous …
That’s a dangerous accusation to make, and just as much ‘propaganda’ as this video.
I’m an active member of the local pet owning community, and know several people whose dogs didn’t thrive on a raw diet. In a household of 11 dogs (of the same breed, on the same diet and portion size), 2 dogs lost dangerous amounts of weight on a raw diet. 7 showed no change between a raw diet and a high-quality kibble, and 2 showed small improvements in coat and teeth.
There is no universal ‘perfect diet’.

If you’re concerned …
If you’re concerned about mixing in the necessary supplements that local raw meat lacks, you could always look into buying a premade raw diet. An improperly balanced raw diet is just as bad as an improperly balanced kibble diet, and I know a lot of people who don’t trust themselves to measure everything carefully.
I’ve also seen supplement powder mixes that you just measure into the meal, and print-out raw meal plans online so you don’t over/underfeed. Explore options in your area and online.

You’d be surprised. …
You’d be surprised. You can feed a medium to high-quality kibble without having to overhaul your budget. I work at an independant pet supplies store, and we sell all holistic brands for only a few dollars more than what chain pet stores charge for considerably lower quality food.

You also don’t have to feed as much kibble on a high-quality diet, so you have to buy less.

(Prices are compared to brands like Eukaneuba, not Ol’Roy. Going from Ol’Roy to holistic WOULD seem expenive.)
