To Feed or Not to Feed Raw
There has been a tremendous amount of research done on the benefits of feeding our beloved pets a raw diet. It has definitely come up trumps; a species appropriate raw diet can meet the highest nutritional standards when adequately prepared, using a variety of good quality produce. Proper nutrition is paramount to the long term health in our pets.
What about Pathogens if our pets are eating raw meat?
Our furry friends are as susceptible to disease and poor health as we are; they deserve a good quality of life too, so it is very important that we are cognisant of what we feed them.
It has been well established that food eaten in as natural a form possible is the most beneficial for health and disease prevention.
The bacteria found in raw meat is deemed quite safe for your pets. But please be safe and ensure that all hygienic measures you take preparing your own meals are followed when handling your pets’ food. This is crucial in order to prevent food-borne illness and contamination.
We suggest:
Freezing the raw meat until ready for use
Keeping the raw meat separate from cooked food
Clean all preparation surfaces and food bowls well
Wash hands before and after handling the meat
Remember our doggo’s are Omnivores, being distant relatives of the Wolf; before they were domesticated their diet was primarily raw meat. Cats being obligate carnivores, need meat to survive.
