why humans are getting sick and why is ok that it is just humans getting sick? The reason dogs haven't gotten sick is because the exact reason why we can feed them raw. They process the raw meat differently then humans and have enzymes in their stomach that help to destroy the bacteria and it passes through their intestine quicker. I wash alot when handling the raw meat and their stainless bowls are washed in the diswasher daily.
If the kibble is cooked/processed then why does it have samonella at all?
Cooking kills samonella, 140 degrees for eggs up to 165 degrees for meats. In order to make dry kibble it has to get far above that temp I am sure! So the only way this can happen is if the cooked kibble comes in contact with machinery, conveyorbelts etc that has been infected with samonella. Typically plants are very seperated, meaning the raw meats would be on one side of the plant and the finished product would not be any where close to the begining of the process....obviously somewhere along the line they have crossed paths again after it has gone through the ovens
Has any dogs gotten sick yet?
I haven't heard of any. I Hope not.
But .... I don't understand

I would imagine
the ingredients are raw before they cook it? Is that stupid? LOL
Stupid? What me? LOL
Yes, but doesn't cooking get rid of the Salmonella? Isn't that the reason we cook our meats before we eat them?
No me! haha
I am not educated on the manufacturing of dog food.
