Mom is refusing to belive me about raw.

The study was about salmonella contamination in food sources. Salmonella is not an airborne bacteria, it is spread through contact or ingestion. A high amount of salmonella bacteria in a food source can cause salmonella poisoning in ANY animal, depending on the strain of the bacteria.

I thought dogs didn't get salmonella from raw chicken, doesn't it have something to do with their strong immune systems? I though I read that somewere.

It seems like Jenny is changing foods often, she is just getting used to purina 1, and than my mom goes out and buys a bag of Iams. I will be sure to get Nutro next time, it sounds good. Right now I have to finish the purina than start and finish the new Iams. Hopefully my mom will let her stick to nutro, instead of " accidentally" going out and buying more Iams.

Salmonella can be airborne -- My grandmother has lung disease from inhaling airborne salmonella. It is mostly found in hatheries and other bird environments but is not limited to those and can be found in the household.

The U.S.D.A. also performed another study to test the effectiveness of negative ionization at removing airborne Salmonella Enteritidis. The negative ions drastically reduced the airborne salmonella particles

Yes, salmonella can be airborne, but the main sources are in poultry houses, where is becomes airborne from dust contaminated with feces.

The site you quote for "negative Ion Generators" is a pseudo-scientific sales pitch, AKA snake oil salesmen of the 21st century.

BTW, "negative Ion Generators" would be more appropriately called Ozone generators. Ozone at ground level is a BAD thing, unless being used for a specific purpose, such as using it as PART of an antimicrobial filter system.
