I have a question. If parasite cysts are present in raw meat (and they can be) and dogs can process this just fine b/c that is how they are made, then why do dogs still get worms? Do you have studies that show that raw fed dogs get worms and more so than different fed dogs? All foods can contain parasite cysts even cooked food! Dogs on kibble and home-cooked get worms... It's my believe that is usually an underlying condition in these dogs and that's why they are more prone to getting worms and/or bacteria.

I agree. I heard that one of the reason dogs get worms are because they go out and digs the ground wich are expose to other animals like raccoon.
I'll try to find the thread wich had great references...
