The reason is that dog's digestive systems is designed for raw. Dogs were here way before processed foods. I wonder, how did they survive so long before kibble? Did they have thyroid or repo problems? Allergies?

IF someone says their dog died after eating raw hamburger due to bacteria being present, why would that be any different than people eating under cooked hamburger. From what I understand raw hamburger and raw meat are different.
