RECALL: Nutra Pet Specialized Dry Pet Foods

Of course, raw chicken also has a salmonella risk, which is why humans have to cook it before eating it. Most of the Salmonella risk is to the humans, rather than the dogs. Sometimes, a dog will get it, especially if it has other, underlying health issues. However, a dog's digestive tract is so short, salmonella usually doesn't have enough time to develop in order to cause a problem.

I'd recommend washing your hands well after handling any product, animal or human, that has meat in it.

With the amount of dog food recalls coming up as of late, wonder if it's time to start examining the costs of a raw diet?

Thanks for the heads-up! Here's the info that the NDSDF sent me ...
