Ya know ....that's a good question. Food for thought. I gotta Google that now. Jack may know the answer. I wash my raw meet....and I get it straight from the butcher but it still could be affected. But then that goes back to wolves or wild dogs...they are exposed to that and much more and survive so I dunno.
From all of the reading I have done, and from my actual experience feeding a yard of 60-85 dogs raw for 2 years (and from feeding a yard of 10-15 dogs raw for 5 years), they don't get sick from eating raw meat or bacteria. A dog's digestive acids are MUCH more powerful than a man's, and virtually no bacteria that plagues us can survive it, so a dog can happily eat what you and I would barf our guts out over. That is a FACT, so if any "one" dog gets ill from salmonella, than my guess would be that "one" dog is a defective animal (i.e., is weak or has something wrong with its digestive tract, etc.).Originally Posted by Kimo615
In fact, just to re-prove this to myself, last night I fed my only remaining dog (Amazon) chicken that had literally gone bad. It was rotten and it stank like shit. Well, she ate it, she is not sick, and she had a perfectly normal stool this morning. If I would have eaten that I would have been sick for a month.
So if your dog gets sick on raw, then there is something wrong with your dog.
Healthy dogs look the best they will ever look in their lives eating raw
And I have fed enough GD dogs, enough different ways, for enough years, for the duration of their entire lives, to say this with 100% conviction.
