Interesting . . . I've fed raw food for 25 years and have been part of a large online presence that feeds raw. I've never had a problem. I do know that most vets don't know a lot about it and since in vet school their nutrition classes are taught by reps from the dog food companies (no conflict of interest there!), they are well informed about raw feeding. You do have to be more conscientious about refrigerating food, just like you would with human food. It's not for everyone. A lot of people don't want to take the time to be that conscientious and would rather just open a bag and dump the food in. Easy peasy.
