[nagdu] Doggie eating chicken?

Mon Apr 14 02:17:43 UTC 2014

I will aggree that proteins are denatured in the cooking process. I will 
further aggree that some antibodies can be built up to the bacteria in raw 
foods. However, it is speculated that cooking of food was a big help in 
increasing the life spans of humans by denaturing viruses and killing 
parasites and bacteria. Holly gets an egg every so often, giblets and an 
occassional treat. I don't cook the dogs foods in grease,or spice. I also 
don't overcook it. She loves it and is healthy. I have never heard of a dog 
with salmonella but I have heard of humans having it. My biggest concern 
with that is cleaning up after a dog that had uit. Yes, all those bacteria 
are all around us but, most don't get in you or your dog. Having a biology 
background, I've studied a lot of micro bugs! Also, when I got my food 
certification when I was a vendor, I again studied what came from what and 
how you could get it. My dogs are healthy and are working well.
