Hey there, Lin.
You’re obviously free to think what you like, but the facts are the facts: Raw meat presents unnecessary risks to you and your dog.
And — as I say in the article — you don’t have to take my word for it, either. I included scads of links to veterinarians who also discourage the feeding of raw meat.
Best of luck.

A problem whereas my Spaniel developed an immune disease from kibble, after a vets recommendation I changed her to a raw diet she recovered within 3 mnths & lived a healthy life till 16 yrs

Hey there, Robin. Thanks for the kind words about the article.
I’m not trying to frighten owners, necessarily, but I do think it’s very important to push back on the raw feeding fad. It places our pets in jeopardy for no reason.

I get that I’m not going to change your mind, but I thank you for checking out the site and sharing your thoughts.

Raw diet for about 9 years now. I have also raised about 200 puppies from 4 weeks of age also raw. I do agree with raw meats having risks and carrying parasites, bacteria etc. The AVMA discourages feeding any animal protein source that hasn’t been rendered in some way I agree and disagree with this statement. I use the best fresh sources of meat (fresh kill from the farm) handled properly and refrigerated or frozen (salmon). I do understand most vets do not want the average pet owner undertaking feeding their pets. This poses a lot of problems from getting proper nutrition to the handling and proper storage of raw foods
I do feel your article was a little over the top using a bit of scare tactics. I’m always for educating the public just not creating fear.

This is a very well researched and written summary of the risks of raw meats. I’ve two large breeds dogs and stay with high quality kibble, despite many urging us to “go raw.”

Thanks for addressing this important public health issue.

P.S. Would like to have seen Shigella included in your list of pathogens.
