That's a good point. I have a two year old son and that was my husbands first concern. Daisy would take a mouthful of raw and go back to her bed - I had to wash it the first day I tried raw. And today she got diarrhea so we are actually giving up on raw and going back to kibble. The only two times I did feed raw I had to mop the floor, wash a bed, wash her face and keep her in the kitchen for an hour to make sure she washed all the raw down with water before letting my son play with her. It is just not going to work out for us.
