again - to fully understand it you will have to research- research-research. I'm not going to be able to explain to all to you here and now. It is impossible. try www.rawmeatybones.com
Fasting is healthy for people and animals done in moderation - its way harder for people do (ME) b/c it takes willpower and I have very little.
The goal of feeding raw is to feed big pieces so the dog can use their teeth and paws if needed. If I feed a large pork shoulder and allow her to eat her fill or if I think she ate too much the day before - she gets fasted. Or if she threw up - that's just what should happen for any dog that gets sick regardless of what its fed.
It is stated that the bacteria and acids in a dog's gut will pretty much take care of any other bacteria. Not to say that it doesn't happen but its rare. And with proper hygeine the person handling meat shouldn't have a problem either.
