My vet said eating raw chicken is unsafe for humans and why would you risk your dogs health by feeding them raw chicken?

First of all we don’t push a raw diet. (strongly recommend, maybe J ) There is not any reason for us to push anything on anyone for their dog. We encourage people to ask questions and become more educated. Once they do that 99% of the time they will switch to a raw diet.

Your vet is typical, many close minded vets use scare tactics to sway people from even investigating raw feeding. Keep in mind that most vets get very little nutritional training and most of it comes from the big money pet food companies like Iams and Hills. I think they honestly don’t know, and they regurgitate the info they are fed in vet school by these companies.

I’d ask your vet about your dog licking his behind; does she not think there are bacteria there? Dogs and people have a completely different digestive system; they can safely eat things that would put you or I in the hospital.

Here is a Q & A section on raw feeding, I think you’ll find the bacteria and vet issues covered there.
