The dog Died of salmonila from eating raw chicken. NC State Veterinary Hospital confirmed it. And yes it is true about the pork. The heat kills the triconosis. Its known fact. They raise pigs all over my state. My grandfather had a farm. I am very familiar with pigs. My dog doesn't eat corn at all. Only grain in his kibble is brown rice. He eats a high quality premium kibble supplemented with cooked or grilled chicken and green beans. Our last dog eating the same thing lived to be 18 years old. He was a Chi mix from the pound. I had a Carin Terrier on the same diet that lived to be 17 years old , same diet. Niether had any real health problems. One had slight arthritis at 18. You won't get that with a raw diet.
