Since Heartworms are carried by mosquitos, I don't see how anyone can say 
that a dog can't get it just because they are fed raw food? The same with 
the virus's from which the vaccine's protect them. JMO.

Neither of these distructive afflictions are carried in dog food, so why 
would anyone think raw food would protect them from it? I am sure your dogs 
will be healthier, and better withstand any disease, but I doubt it would 
protect them from it.
