Another major concern with raw diets is in regards to potential pathogenic organisms, like salmonella, E coli, or internal parasites. There are multiple studies comparing the amount of salmonella bacteria found in kibble fed vs raw fed dog’s feces. In one study, 16 dogs were fed a contaminated raw food meal, and 7 of those dogs shed salmonella bacteria in their stool for up to 7 days following the meal; none of the dogs were symptomatic [76]. Another study found that dogs fed raw diets were significantly more likely to shed salmonella in their stool than dogs fed other types of diets [77]. Yet another identified salmonella in 30% of the stool samples analyzed from dogs fed a raw diet [78].
However, the frequency of fecal isolation of salmonella in healthy non raw fed dogs has been shown to be as high as 36% [79], indicating that this is not exclusive to raw fed animals. Further, fecal isolation of salmonella doesn’t directly translate to a higher risk of salmonella – all it means is that the animal has successfully passed salmonella bacteria without becoming symptomatic. The ability to harbor and pass salmonella as a normal, nonpathogenic bacteria is a known trait of carnivores [80].
Other studies have identified the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in commercial raw foods. One study found that 7% of the 60 commercial raw diet products analyzed tested positive for salmonella [81]. Another study analyzed 240 commercial raw food samples and 42 processed food samples (24 dry, 24 canned); about 6% of these samples tested positive for salmonella (all of which were raw foods), and 53% of these samples tested positive for E. coli (including both raw and processed foods) [82].
This is not exclusive to raw pet food products. Salmonella and other harmful pathogens have been found in dry foods [83] and dog chews and treats [84, 85]. There are many documented cases of humans obtaining salmonella from dry and canned pet foods [86].
