I'm rather surprised to see Nature's Variety in there. However, a raw diet food has got to be harder to keep safe... E. Coli, Salmonella... anything present in fresh foods.

Good site Anne. Unfortunately, hypervigilance is so important now, but still after the fact. Home prepared (cooked) is looking better and better.

Thanks Betty for the fantastic work on keeping us updated on a VERY important topic I know you are passionate about.

To be honest, home cooking may be a bigger risk for bacteria contamination....at least that is what the health experts are preaching. I think I heard once that there is more bacteria in a home kitchen than in the toilet. Not sure how true that is but it makes me gag to think it is. So, I think whatever you choose should be what works best for the dog and then pray that it's sanitary.

I know, because the disinfectants you are supposed to use in your kitchen are toxic to living creatures and the environment too..........

All purpose, natural cleaner:

1 tbsp of Borax powder or baking soda
3 tbsps of white vinegar
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon of dish soap
1 drop of essential oil for fragrance

I've used that cleaner! The one I'm currently using is a mixture of distilled water and apple cider vinegar. Barkley's holistic acupuncture vet recommended it for his ears and it worked so well I tried it on the countertops and it was fabulous.
