to put this into perspective, germs are everywhere, including kibble.
there have been more cases of salmonella in kibble than has ever been found in raw feeding.
my friends who have dogs with beards merely wipe down their dogs with a warm wet cloth...some braid, or pony tail the beard if it is long enough....
but i've been feeding raw for a good while now and no one on any of the forums i am a member has ever had a problem with any contamination with their furry dogs and children.
raw meaty juices.....we wipe their faces...isn't it kind of the same with a dog who slobbers? like mastiffs and newfies and other such beautiful beasties?
the treats i give are dehydrated real food. now that they are fed raw, store bought is not an option for me.
btw, i am moderately to severely immuno compromised....and i got sick being in a hospital, but never from my dogs.
hope this helps.
