What About Salmonella?

The one question or topic that comes up with every person who finds out we're feeding raw is salmonella.

"What about salmonella?"

"Your dogs not going get salmonella from eating raw meat?"

"Be careful about salmonella!"

Yes, I've heard about salmonella before, but for some reason, the knowledge that dogs wouldn't cook their own food if we weren't around to do it for them in combination with the fact that we're practicing the same food handling principles that we do with our own food (aside from the fact that we're not cooking the food the dogs eat) is enough to put the worry of salmonella out of my mind.

I've also read a few articles about this very topic and you can see them for yourself.

Myth: THE BACTERIA IN RAW MEAT WILL HURT YOUR DOG.

"Concerned about salmonella and other bugs? The digestive systems of dogs and cats are short, acidic, and handle bacteria well. This is why they are not susceptible to salmonella, parasites, or e-coli from tainted meat as humans are. Humans have very long digestive tracks which allow food to 'linger' for 24 hours or more, thus allowing more time for parasites to get into their bloodstreams."
