Hi,
You never have to protect your dog from these things, however you must
protect yourself from these things. Remember, dogs are carnivores
capable of eating cat crap, road kill, their own feces, licking their
behinds, etc, and they have amazingly powerful defenses against
bacteria. Salmonella and E Coli can also be found on pigs ears and raw
hides, yet even kibble-fed dogs with weak stomachs (from eating
processed foods) can still handle this. Dogs' hydrochloric acids are
100 times stronger than ours! That is their best defense. Also, their
gut is very short and smooth to allow for quick passage of raw foods,
which also helps aid in eliminating toxins and bacteria efficiently.
