Also, I question does the salmonella come from the kibble or the dog? Many animals have different bacteria in their saliva (salmonella included)... dog eats kibble and some saliva is left on remaining kibble in the bowl... along comes a child and plays with the food then puts their hands in their mouth and child becomes ill.
This is where the rule "Children under the age of six years should not be actively involved in the care of any family pet" due to the fact that younger children are not reliable with handwashing after handling the food or the pet..
Is it a myth? I wonder just how many Yorkies may have very mild cases of MVD that go undiagnosed bc it never shows more obvious symptoms? Just a thought... |
I see your point but what about the people who have gotten salmonella after handeling their dogs food likely whe they were getting the food for the dog
