Experts are warning dog and cat owners to be aware of the risks associated with feeding their pets raw meat – based diets (RMBDs), instead of the more conventional dry or canned Pet Foods.
In the Vet Record today, a team of reaerchers based in The Neverland’s say these diets may be contaminated with bacteria and parasites, and as such may pose a risk to both animal and human health.
Feeding RMBDs two companion animals has become increasingly popular across the world, yet claims of health benefits are not backed by evidence, and several studies have reported possible risks.
