Sounds like it's going well.
I've had to stop raw feeding Harri unfortunately. I'm far from convinced that it would be an infection risk but as a therapy dog he isn't permitted raw.
I decided to move my boy onto a raw diet a while back. The argument made by raw feeders on here along with honeys book and guidance was just too compelling.
Anyway now he has had some time to settle into the diet I just thought I would provide an update. I have to say from day one of the change in diet the changes were amazing. On kibble my boy was farting constantly and smelt so bad it burned your nose. Since around day 2 of the move this stopped overnight. He still passes wind occasionally however the smell is not offensive. Along with this his poo is perfectly formed, solid, slightly tacky and lifts off the patio without leaving a smear. Well poo before the raw diet sometimes was ok but mostly sloppy and misinformed.
He was never a fussy eater but now gets really excited when I touch his dinner bowl so he clearly prefers it. In addition one thing that shocked me was how much his poo reduced in size and also how much his water consumption decreased. Still passes urine in similar quantity but gets a lot from food now. Generally he is gaining weight and growing nicely. His coat is in great condition. Full of energy and generally happy. Moving to raw really was what was best for him. It's nowhere near as expensive as you may expect or anywhere near as difficult as you would expect. Well worth a try for anyone considering diets for their little fury friend.
Glad to hear your dog is doing so well. Finally convincing my OH that raw was the best thing for Murphy wasn't easy but well worth it , now OH has seen the benefits for himself he has become very enthusiastic. Plus both Murphy and George are clearly benefiting from it.

I never thought it would be an infection risk but it has in my hubby's case
I am still really gutted about having to stop feeding raw,although I will always promote it
That's fantastic.
Well done convincing your other half to change over. I don't think you will ever regret it. (well, at least, I hope you don't)
Happy feeding.
Are these infection risks in relation to humans? I agree with the confusion as it's like saying it's too risky preparing your own food. That being said if the doctors told me that I think I would need to seriously consider if it was worth the risk.
Also thanks all
Yes - the fear is that the dogs might transfer salmonella or e-coli bugs etc to vulnerable people with low resistance. I doubt any meaningful research has been done on the actual risk though.
At the moment I'd say NHS sandwiches seem to pose a considerable risk!
