I have no interest in defending raw feeding, but I wanted to address a couple of the things you mention here. First of all, you can get the same bacteria in a raw egg yolk you can in chicken. There's no difference. If you've ever seen one of your dogs pick up a turd, be it canine or bird, same thing. Also, fresh garlic is now on the list of foods NOT to feed your dog along with onions, grapes, chocolate, etc. We stopped feeding it about a year ago.
And, lastly, I guess it's about as prehistoric as me when I eat bloody rare steak.
I have done research on the ingredients that go into dried dog food and how it is made. That was what finally got me to decide to try the raw diet with all whole human-grade ingredients.
If you're seeing great results with your feeding program, then that's the one to stick with.
