but the question still remains Marian, how do you inforce this. What stops a dog owner from visiting under the delta program name and decided to give Delta the finger and feed raw anyway. Sure you can tell pet partners they cannot feed raw food but you cannot go into their homes and verify that they are feeding commerical food.
Another thing, ( and I completely get what you're saying in your post) HOW would the family get the info that the dog was being fed raw food in the first place? So where would the law suit come, it would most likely stop at verification of the dog's health records and maybe a request for an additional exam? It would be a bear IMO to prove the infection came from a dog in the first place and would be especially hard to prove it was the result of being fed raw and not from a nurse who wasn't observing proper sanitation. Any raw feeding dog owner worth their salt would be able to call in "experts" to verify that raw feeding is not only OK but actually a healthy diet and be able to educate a jury in spite of thier ignorance. Reasonable doubt would be established and in that case they would not be able to award a settlement to the grieving but greedy family. You may as well file suit against the wind unless you could PROVE that the only place the infection could have come from was the dog.
You are probably more likely to get an infection say staph maybe from a dog developing a skin condition that maybe isn't obvious yet than you are getting sick from a dog based on his diet. And anyway I don't know what training programs that other people go through are like but I was always taught to not allow the dogs to lick the good ol' veterans that we visit and to help them pet either on her head and neck or on her back, not around her face.
I should also mention that I do not raw feed
