High levels of bacteria found in the raw meat dog foods 

A study by the researchers from the university of Argicultural science showed that many raw meat products contain Enterobacteriaceae species, which are indicators of faecal contaimination and hygiene standard

feeding your pooch with raw meat could pose potential health risks as they  contain high levels of bacteria, researchers have waned. Such food products can also cause health risks to people, particularly infants, elderly and those with poor immunity,the study said. A raw  meat based diet has become increasingly popular with dogs in recent years because it is seen as a "healthier natural alternative" to the widely available commercial products.

  Nearly 31 samples contained bacteria levels that exceeded the 5,000 bacteria per gram maximum threshold set by the European Union regulations, said the study.Escherichia coil was found in about a third of the samples. 

Salmonella species were found in four of the 60 samples, while Campylobacter species were found in three samples from three different manufactures. Dogs should not be fed raw meat products while being treated with antibiotics as this could increase the risk of antibiotics resistance, the researchers noticed
