Most vets no little about raw feeding, or any feeding . Their education is supplied by animal food companies.

ust so pet food consumers can get the facts straight – in the past five years (June 2010 – June 2015) – just for Salmonella contamination, there have been 23 kibble recalls, 14 raw recalls, and 26 treat recalls.
The above is based on the actual number of FDA recall press releases over the past 5 years. But as we all know, sometimes one FDA recall press release includes more than one variety of pet food. Often, multiple pet foods are recalled in one press release. So…what is the total of individual pet foods recalled due to Salmonella contamination for the same time frame?.....................

My dogs are fed raw food that is for for human consumption. I handle their raw food the same way I handle my own raw food -washing my hands and the surfaces, containers etc thoroughly after use. Basic hygiene.
In over 20 years of raw feeding neither my family nor my dogs have contracted salmonella.
Rw feeding is not for everybody but personally I wouldn't feed any other now. I know exactly what my dogs are eating with no added rubbish.
They are healthy- oldest currently 14 and still chasing toys.
Three vets , in different practices, have commented on the good condition of my dogs. None of my dogs have ever needed teeth cleaning.
