First let me say I don't feed commercial food so I don't really have a dog in this fight.
I am constantly amazed how dog/cat owners rush to blame food for every phyiscal problem when food is almost never the cause. I even noticed some posts here where these people had been feeding one of these foods for months or years and when they get a little sick, the food is automatically blamed.
Also, people don't figure out that when you take your sick pet to the vet, they will run a salmonella test and if there is salmonella, it is blamed for the problem without further investigation. The fact is most all dogs have salmonella in their GI tract. Dog's bodies were designed to handle salmonella and most other bacteria and it doesn't cause problems. It's real easy for the vet to say, "Your dog has salmonella", give some antibiotics and move on to the next patient.
