Hi everyone,
As I study more about the raw diet method of feeding my girl, I must confess I'm still concerned about the salmonella and E. coli risk. I'm pretty convinced by all of you and other sources as well that the raw feeding method can be wonderful for your dog...but I'm still nervous.
It seems like whenever you read about the BARF/raw feeding method, critics are quick to poo-poo this feeding method and often their first comment is the "You'll give your dog salmonella and/or E. coli" comment.
Do some of you worry about this as well?
Can you share with me what you do to mimimize (it's probably not possible to truly eliminate this risk, is it?) this risk to your dog(s)?
Thank you,
Craig
