This is most likely a stupid question but: we would never eat raw anything ourselves - why is it okay to feed raw meat to our B's when we keep reading how there is so much bacteria and other bad stuff in raw meat these days, and we are warned to cook it all well?
I don't think that is a stupid question, it is a very valid one. I have recently switched Kiora onto raw and that was a question I had asked myself. Basically what I learned about it was that dogs stomachs are very highly acidic and designed to deal with bad bacteria found in meat like salmonella and E.coli. While wild dogs and wolves do hunt, they also scavenge, and are able to easily digest and utilize meat that for a human would be toxic. Commercial kibble has been around for less than 100 years while hominids, on the other hand, have been cooking for themselves for over a million years.
A major exception to this would be any dog with a suppressed immune system.
