Second, you asked why is it good for our dogs but not humans? Because we have totally completely different digestive tracts. Dogs process food entirely different than us. Biologically, they are actually 99.8% the same as wolves on the inside and the way their body is made up. (I'm NOT saying our domesticated dogs ARE wolves, just that their digestive tract is like one). Dogs have pretty tough immune systems (unless it's compromised for another health reason) and usually are unaffected by salmonella. That's not to say they CAN'T be infected by it (they also have a chance of being infected by it through kibble). They also digest their food quicker than us without allowing bacteria to settle. So basically, yes a dog CAN get salmonella, but not as easily as a human and as long as the raw meat you are feeding them is fresh and new, there shouldn't be a problem.

It doesn't settle well with me, either. Jackson is so weird anyways, he's so picky. He won't eat Primal raw, only Stella & Chewy's. I am pretty certain he'd be that one dog that wouldn't touch raw meat (some people who feed prey model raw, etc, and actually go buy meat at the butcher or grocery). I hardly cook for myself so I'm darn well not going to be searching for meat, thawing it out, making sure the ratios are correct, etc, for my dog. Lazy? Maybe. But it's what I'm comfortable with.
