Q. Isn’t the bacteria in raw food dangerous for my dog?

Dogs come in contact with billions of bacteria every day. They collect dirt on their paws, eat other animal’s poops, some even eat their own, they lick their bums and clean their fur constantly. Their digestive systems are no different than that of their predecessor the wolf. They have a PH in their system that is 10,000 times more acidic than ours. This allows them to handle bacteria such as salmonella, e-coli and many, many more. Humans on the other hand have a PH of between 5 and 7 which is highly alkaline and therefore we must cook our food and wash our hands to avoid bacteria.

Q. Aren’t bones dangerous for dogs?

Dogs have evolved to eat bones however, they are NOT to be used as a “baby sitting” device. You should always THAW out thoroughly before giving to your dog. Take off any loose hanging bone pieces or large lumps of fat. The first time you give a bone your goal is to observe how your dog chews the bone. If he is extremely aggressive you may need to monitor him for the full 15-20 minutes so that he doesn’t eat too much too fast on the first experience. If the bone is being devoured too quickly and the pieces are getting too small for comfort then take it away and throw it out.
