Here you go, these may make the 'raw' aspect a little clearer to you

Raw meat could be harmful to humans, but remember this is because we have evolved from chimpanzees, who are vegetarians, so it stands to reason that we would not be capable of handling meat in its natural 'full of vitality' form. However, healthy dogs (evolved from wolves) are carnivores and have a short digestive tract, thick stomach lining, strong stomach acids and different digestive enzymes to us, all of these things and more allow them to thrive on bacteria that could potentially be harmful to humans. Remember that even though our dogs are our babies, they are still dogs, not humans.
As I said, raw is not for everyone, we all have to do what we believe to be the best and nobody should be criticized, whatever choice they make.
