Abstract in brief

  • Raw meat-based diets for dogs and cats are believed to offer benefits like improved digestion, healthier coat, and increased energy, but scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited.
  • There are significant risks associated with these diets, including the potential for bacterial contamination (such as Salmonella or Salmonella), which can cause illness in pets and humans, and nutritional imbalances that might lead to health problems.
  • Veterinarians and pet owners should carefully weigh the potential benefits against the risks and consider consulting a veterinary professional before feeding a raw meat-based diet to ensure it meets the pet's nutritional needs safely.]

@MarilynRaven6 @spicedrop71 @MatthewMahl There are studies that show that there is no benefit in RAW meat; your pet will receive the same digestibility benefits if it is cooked, AND you will not be exposed to food-borne illnesses like salmonella, e. coli, campylobacter. https://t.co/ICVMzPzz9q

@drEkawati_Erps @animalfess2 untuk raw food, konsensus dokter hewan ga menyarankan. Risikonya terlalu banyak (kontaminasi dan nutritional imbalance) walau ada benefitnya (digestibilitas tinggi, konsumsi air tinggi) bisa baca di https://t.co/mzPQAWREOU

this is also important. i honestly don't know why people do this either, feeding pets raw meat? it's making pets sick, and it can make you sick too. prepare food for your pet properly. you wouldn't eat contaminated food, so why feed it to your pet? https://t.co/kEJnbYimVD
