Salmonella is on everything and is everywhere. It's on the grocery carts you use. You just have to be careful. And, no, you cannot boil the meat otherwise it defeats the purpose. When you boil meat it also kills off the essential nutrients. Animal tummies are meant to digest raw meat. Kibble wasn't invented until 1864. It takes a lot more than 150 years of evolution to change a digestive tract. Now, I am NOT saying that all dogs can digest salmonella...just that they can tolerate more than we can so the danger isn't AS much.
Just make sure you know whom you are buying from. |
The only place I know to buy from is the grocery store. The other option I have is continue to purchase the raw dog food from the freezer section at the petless pet shop (Global pet supplies). I just thought it would be less expensive to throw the meal together myself...and healthier, but I'm starting to think I should just buy the frozen raw food diet.
