β€œRaw food diets can also be harmful to dog owners and their families. You could be subject to food poisoning or sickness by just handling raw food or caring for your pet. Puppy kisses may be more risky than cute on a raw food diet, especially for children, seniors, people with weakened immune systems and pregnant people.

If you do decide to feed your dog raw meat, talk to your veterinarian first. The CDC recommends keeping it frozen and thawing in the fridge until use. Make sure to disinfect all surfaces the raw meat touched and avoid playing with your pet directly after they eat.”
