Yes, some dogs do fabulous on kibble, all their lives. Mine didn't. Like I said, what works for some will not for others.

I'm not going to shove it down anyone's throat...to get to where I am now, it took years & it made sense to me. I would never expect it to make sense to everyone else. You feed your pet what you feel is right. I'm not saying anything is right or wrong, it's what you & I feel comfortable with.

Dogs can get salmonella and do sometimes it even kills them. Dogs did not come from wolves and dogs systems evolved to eating mostly dry food so that is actually what there systems are used too.
