| if youre thinking of raw feeding, give a digestive enzyme with probiotics for at least 2 weeks prior to starting a raw food diet. This will help friendly bacteria colonize in the intestines of your pet and help build a stronger immune system before embarking on a raw food diet. its to help with the diahhrea that may occur at first.
like someone posted before, dogs cannot get salmonella, e.coli, toxoplasmosis, campylobacter, creutzfelt jakob, listeria... and all the other pathogenic microbes we are susceptible to.. but dogs will pass these bacterias through their digestive tract and thats when the trouble comes for us humans. even if they poop outside.... they could be licking it or whatever, i mean, i know my dog likes the taste of poop haha and then we hug them and they lick us.. then we're getting sick |
