I don't know how true it is, but I read it here:
Starting Your Puppy On A Raw Diet | Dogs Naturally Magazine

It’s not wise to mix your puppy’s raw food with kibble. Because kibble requires a different pH in the gut to digest, it will make your puppy more susceptible to the bacteria in the raw meats. He is capable of handling this bacteria just fine, but once you add in artificial foods, the meat will sit in his digestive tract twice as long, meaning there is a much greater chance of harmful bacteria building up.

Maybe it only pertains to puppies...?

Yea maybe but I wouldn't think any bacteria would build up? But I don't feed raw foods. I don't trust the food chain. All the bacteria is strong with all the antibiotics. Theres recall on raw foods also. I prefer to cook mine but don't over cook. But that just my paranoia. I really don't trust the meat/food industry. They just want to grow the food and sell it as fast as they can. I personally watch what I eat. Try to grow what I can. I'm a vegetarian. I only eat grass feed beef
