Also, the pH of their stomach is more acidic than ours - which kills most of the bacteria in the food.
Dogs ate raw meat for years and years until humans began to feed them cooked food and then invented kibble in the 1940s or 50s. Because a dog's digestive system is the way it is, that is why most dogs don't get sick when they go out and eat something they find rotting on the ground or when they raid the garbage. Dogs have strong stomachs and were designed to eat raw meat. They were not meant to eat grains...what do you think a dog in the wild would have eat...corn on the ground or a dead rabbit/chicken/etc.? I think any dog would choose the raw meat
