Raw diet issues.

So we have 3 bullies. Caia who is 11, her daughter Ulani who is 8, and Ash who is about 9 months old. Lani and Caia are retired show dogs. Ash is on her way to be one and possibly bred. Lani and Caia have been eating kibble their whole life and have been just fine. The breeder we got Ash from had her on a raw diet so we figured we will keep that going and eventually transition the old ladies to it as well. So we did over the course of a few weeks. Some stomach issues but we figured that was to be expected. We found a venison dealer and bought like 200lbs of the stuff. At first they were having issues with constipation, diarrhea, waking up at night to poop. It worried me but my girlfriend assured me it was just their stomachs figuring it out. But once a little time went by and my girlfriend figured out the right mix things got better. Lani who was like 10lbs overweight got a lot leaner, their coats are shinier and softer. It was always a mixture of venison, organs, chicken backs and necks along with vegetables, eggs and other things to give them the stuff meat wouldn't. All of a sudden now we have gone backwards. They are all pooping their crates during the day, waking up at night sometimes multiple times to poop, they vomit a lot more, and just overall their stomachs seem a lot worse in general. I'm at my wits end and exhausted all the time from waking up every night to let them out. I honestly don't think this raw diet is worth it. Not to mention I had campylobacter when I was younger and so did my mom. It almost killed us both. I mean my girlfriend is safe about it and everything gets chloroxed after she preps their meals. Still, I don't like having that much raw meat around. To me it's only a matter of time before one of us gets sick. Combine that with the fact our dogs stomachs seem so messed up anymore and I'd prefer to just go back to kibble. She however refuses to do that. My girlfriend is very stubborn. Lol. Any tips or ideas would be appreciated. We were doing well for a while, no pooping their crate during the day, sleeping through the night etc etc. And now were back to all of that happening again and it's driving me crazy.

Pumpkin! My sweet girl absolutely loves it and it helps with her tummy issues. We just recently transitioned her from puppy to adult food and it seemed to help the squirts that she endured for the first week. Her diet is mostly kibble with some whole salmon, carrots, occasional peanut butter as a treat... it has been trial and error with her because she seems to be very sensitive.
