I totally disagree with anon101. A dog’s digestive system can handle Salmonella & many other bugs humans can’t. After all think about dogs in the wild-They ate most anything-the older the better! If you buy your food from a reputable store & handle it like you would your family’s food there shouldn’t be an issue.
I see she posted a link from the SPCA. Sorry but they get a lot of funding from dog food companies & support them (BTW-I support the SPCA).
I too distrust the AAFCO.
I have been feeding 2 standard poodles raw for their whole lives. Never had better teeth or coats. Very small amt. of stool since ALL the food is digested.
Bottom line-please do what works but don’t give up on raw. It’s the most appropriate diet for your dog.
