Peace of Mind: The Truth About Raw Food Safety & Hygiene

Is raw dog food safe? It’s the most common question we get from concerned owners. In this episode of The Raw Feeding Journal, hosts Charlotte and Robin debunk the myths surrounding bacteria and reveal the strict safety standards that govern the UK raw pet food industry.

In this episode, we cover:

• The DEFRA Difference: Why commercial raw dog food is often subject to stricter Salmonella testing than the meat in your local supermarket.
• The "Human Grade" Myth: Understanding why you should always choose registered pet food manufacturers over local butcher meat.
• Cold Chain Management: How reputable suppliers ensure your dog's food stays frozen and safe from factory to freezer.
• Canine Biology: Why your dog’s highly acidic stomach allows them to safely digest bacteria that humans can't.
• Kitchen Safety 101: Essential tips for storage, defrosting, and the "72-hour rule" to keep your family safe from cross-contamination.

Discover why feeding raw, when done responsibly, offers absolute peace of mind.
