Risk of bacterial infection from canine raw feeding
Pet food manufacturers educate veterinary surgeons to tell you that there are major risks involved in feeding raw food with regard to bacteria. Their scientists have identified bacteria in pet food and in the feces of those pets fed it, however they do not inform you that a dog on a fully raw, non-grain diet does not get affected by these bacteria, here is why:
Bile and pancreatic juice released into the duodenum are
bactericidal for :
- E.coli
- Shigella
- Salmonella
- Klebsiella
bacteriostatic for:
- Coagulase (+ & -)
- staphulocci
- pseudomonas
and inhibit candida albicans
