Very unlikely. Dogs have a short digestive track, so food goes in and comes out much faster than humans. Even if in the rare case, the food were infected with salmonella, it would get pushed through your dog faster than it would take the salmonella to multiply and do any harm. Remember... although cute and cuddly, canines are also found in the wild, and naturally eat everything and anything they can get their hands on. Almost every dog owner I know, including most of our clients at the daycare have switched to raw food, and have had nothing but great results. For a little guy, I'd recommend giving him really small portions of raw food mixed in with his dry food, and slowly switch over the portions according to how he reacts.

How old is he and how long have you had him for? Usually shakes are from some form of anxiety.
