Raw Food Hygiene - Bacteria (salmonella, e. coli etc)

Please see the below quote from the Raw Feeding Veterinary Society (which Akela is proud to sponsor):
"Pathogenic species of bacteria including E. coli, Clostridium perfringens and Salmonella are regularly identified in healthy dog’s intestines [42]. All dogs lick their anal/genital area, lick other dogs’ orifices, eat faeces, eat dead animals, and drink from contaminated puddles and waterways. Equally all cats will lick their anal/genital area and many cats will hunt prey. Basic hygiene precautions ensure that we humans can all safely coexist with our pets."
