The Truth About Raw Feeding: Facts Over Fear
At Rhondda Raw, we believe dog owners deserve facts, not fear.
Recently, one of our products was subject to a recall after Trading Standards tested a single pack that showed traces of Salmonella.
It made national headlines — but here’s what those headlines didn’t say.
We acted proactively, transparently, and responsibly.
Our food passed all of our own independent testing before it ever left our facility.
When the issue arose, we owned it — because accountability builds trust.
And that’s why thousands of raw feeders across the UK continue to stand by us.
If only every pet food company could say the same.
Let’s Talk Facts — Not Fear
Raw feeding is not inherently dangerous.
It’s biologically natural and nutritionally complete when done correctly.
Yes, raw meat can contain Salmonella — just like much of the meat sold in supermarkets for human consumption.
Here’s the truth:
If supermarket meat was tested to the same standards required for pet food, most would fail.
That’s why we take hygiene, testing, and traceability seriously — and why our DEFRA-approved facility operates under strict food safety controls.
We work only with trusted suppliers, and when an issue arises, we act immediately.
Because transparency isn’t a slogan for us — it’s a promise.
What Is Salmonella?
Salmonella is a naturally occurring bacterium found in many parts of the environment — soil, water, and the intestines of animals.
It’s one of the most common causes of foodborne illness in humans, typically transmitted through undercooked or contaminated meat, eggs, or produce.
Healthy adult dogs have short, acidic digestive tracts designed to handle bacteria like Salmonella far better than humans can.
In most cases, they don’t get sick at all.
However, good hygiene and safe handling practices are always important — just as they are when preparing any raw meat at home.
So Why Is Salmonella a Problem in Pet Food?
Because regulations are built for human risk, not canine biology.
Pet food companies are held to exceptionally strict microbial standards — which is a good thing — but it also means even trace levels that pose little to no risk to dogs can trigger recalls and headlines.
The real issue isn’t that raw food contains bacteria — it’s that we need to educate people on how to handle it safely, just as we do with our own meals.
Why Raw Feeding Is Still the Best Choice
Dogs are carnivores by design.
Their bodies are built to thrive on fresh, unprocessed nutrition — not heavily cooked, carbohydrate-heavy kibble.
Raw feeding supports:
🐾 Healthier skin and coat
🐾 Smaller, less odorous stools
🐾 Improved dental health
🐾 Balanced energy and lean muscle
🐾 Better digestion and fewer allergies
At Rhondda Raw, we believe in returning to nature’s blueprint — responsibly, hygienically, and transparently.
