My dog is a long- haired dog (cockapoo) and I'm not sure if I need to wash him off after each meal or will he traipse all over the house with salmonella on his paws and legs? Do you have any suggestions or am I being way too paranoid?
Full Question:
Sorry to bother you with a Discussion question but I am waiting approval to go on the Forum and I need a very quick answer. I just began feeding my 5 month old puppy on a raw diet tonight (he had his first chicken neck ever!) and I thought I had everything researched and prepared. I fed him in the crate since I have 3 small kids and want to keep the mess somewhat contained, however, he is a long- haired dog (cockapoo) and I'm not sure if I need to wash him off after each meal or will he traipse all over the house with salmonella on his paws and legs? Do you have any suggestions or am I being way too paranoid :) ?Thank you kindly,
Melanie

Feed him in a crate and if you are worried about this, wipe him off.
I don't worry about things like this, but it doesn't hurt anything to wipe him off if you have reservations of any kind.
Read this article on feeding a raw diet. It’s a work in progress but there is a lot of good information there.
I cover many common questions there.
