Actually, yes, raw meat IS better for dogs than cooked meat. This is why many people choose to put their dogs on a raw meat diet. Wolves and dingos, relatives to the domesticated dogs we have today, exist exclusively on raw meat. Dogs are NOT people, and have enzymes in their saliva and intestinal tracts that we do not, enabling them to digest raw meat and kill the bacteria. The canine digestive system is not like a human's; a dog's stomach and intestines quickly break down the meat, organ and bone to the molecular level and absorb them, and the leftover parts are expelled as waste. Meat does not stay in the animal's intestines long enough to allow harmful bacteria to grow and harm it.
Of course dogs are also prone to parasites, which is why for domestic dogs its important to buy raw meat from a trusted distributor that tests for such things.
Cooking meat changes its chemical makeup which destroys much of the nutrients in the meat, and some dogs actually may develop Allergies as a result of eating cooked meat, particularly if the meat is seasoned or has other additives such as cornmeal. Dermatological reactions are especially common in dogs who are sensitive to these additives.
