tjdmom is absolutely right. Salmonella and other bacteria (such as e.coli) are present in feces of ALL dogs, raw-fed or kibble fed. Such bacteria is also found in kibble, just like amandawash said. It's all about using common sense, such as washing your hands after handling raw food and then washing the dog dishes after they eat. When my dogs are fed outside I wipe their paws and muzzle with a baby wipe but that's it. Dogs have been eating raw food since the beginning of their existence and people have been feeding dogs raw for decades with no problems. As long as you aren't licking your dog's bowl after he eats it's pretty unlikely that you'll get sick.
