Hi!
This is my first post.
I have 2 dogs - one is a brown male standard poodle weighing 85 lbs. The other is a black female standard poodle weighing 54 lbs.
i have just switched over to raw food after having 2 months!!! of mainly diarrhea or soft poo from them. I have been beside myself with vet visits and trying to figure this out.
I started with no food for 2 days, except for pumpkin and this product from a raw food pet store. After ONE applicaiton of the powder (I had tried pumpkin and many, many other vet suggested things/pills), the diarrhea is gone. I can't believe it!!
So now that I've started, I'm concerned about the salmonella in the dog poop. I'm not worried about salmonella on the dogs, etc.
I have a fenced area that they eliminate in. So I'm thinking - Pick up the poo, but the salmonella could still be on the rocks. So dogs go walk through there to eliminate, they pick up the salmonella from the poop.
Should I spray bleach every time after I pick up the poo??
This is my last worry over raw feeding. I am just so siiiccckkk of my dogs' diarrhea, that they're never going back to kibble. I just need some advice about how anal (sorry for the pun) to get in this poop thing.
Thanks!!
Carol
