I have two small kids and am concerned with salmonella and E-Coli contamination from feeding raw? Is this an issue?
Full Question:
Hi Cindy,I switched to the raw diet and things are going well. However, my wife has some concerns regarding the dog licking the kids and household items after feeding. She is concerned with cross contamination of household items and the kids. I have a one year old and a three year old. Can salmonella and E-Coli be passed through stool as well. I pick up the dog's stool but sometimes I miss a few. She is most worried about the chicken quarters. This may be addressed in the DVD I have coming. Sorry if this is a question you get all the time.
Thanks for your time,
Mark and Family
Cindy's Answer:
This is addressed on the website, Here is a Q&A section on raw feeding. For the record, there is salmonella and E-Coli in kibble as well as many other places in the environment.
The 2 best books for learning about the raw diet are Raw Dog Food and Natural Nutrition for Dogs and Cats. We give both these books to our puppy customers and rarely have questions about the diet.
I would recommend learning to use our SEARCH function, which is located in the top left corner of every page of the website. If you type in your key words or question it will find you articles, Q&As, free streaming video and links to threads on our discussion forum.
