I have nothing against feeding a good quality kibble... I fed my poodle kibble for years till she got sick and started having seizures. We find out it was from the kibble. I joined a group of raw feeding pet owners and after months of reading decided to try it. I find there is much more success feeding a raw diet than feeding kibble. My dog lived to be 16, would she have lived that long on kibble? I don't know for sure, but I think not. Other than congestive heart failure, she was pretty darned healthy. I've seen dogs go from almost dead to healthy in 3 months once they got off the kibble and on raw. I'm not saying all dogs will be like this, but a majority with allergies and other health issues do. All my meat is frozen until fed, the likelyhood of getting salmonella is very rare. You have a better chance of getting it from handling kibble. I wear gloves when handling any meat and wash my hand thoroughly after.
I have a friend that has a English Bulldog that got salmonella and never had raw in his life. There are many pro's and con's. I will keep feeding the raw since I've seen the benefits on the health of my dog.
