Salmonella-Tainted Raw Dog Food Recalled in 11 States -- Switch Brands, Ditch Raw Diets, or Stay the Course?

A raw dog food brand has been recalled across 11 states after testing linked it to salmonella contamination, with reports of dogs and even some owners getting sick. It's reignited the long-running debate over raw feeding: some raw-diet owners plan to just switch to a different brand, others say this is proof that raw diets themselves carry an unacceptable risk, and some are sticking with what they're doing since recalls like this happen with processed kibble too. Where do you land?

🏆 Leading: Switch off raw entirely -- raw diets carry an inherently higher risk of bacterial contamination than cooked food or commercial kibble, since there's no heating step to kill pathogens. Salmonella outbreaks like this one are a recurring problem with raw pet food, not a one-off fluke. (50%)🥈 Switch to a different raw brand, but check lot numbers -- this recall was specific to certain batches from one manufacturer, not raw feeding as a whole. Responsible owners can keep the diet they believe in while being more diligent about checking recall notices before buying. (33%)🥉 Stay the course, no matter the diet -- recalls happen across raw, kibble, and canned pet food alike, and this system of testing, recalling, and warning owners is exactly how it's supposed to work. Panic-switching diets every time there's a recall isn't necessarily healthier for your dog than sticking with a routine and just staying alert to notices. (17%)🌍 🇨🇳 China, 🇦🇬 Antigua and Barbuda
