We know you want the very best for your furry family members! While raw diets may offer possible benefits, such as greater control over ingredients, palatability, and enrichment, there are important health and safety risks to consider.
Bacterial contamination: Raw meat can carry harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella and E. coli, putting pets and their families at risk.
Nutritional imbalances: Many raw diets are not complete and balanced, meaning they may lack essential vitamins and minerals or contain them in incorrect amounts. Over time, nutritional deficiencies or excesses can affect bone development, organ function, and overall health, especially in young puppies and kittens.
Physical injuries: Raw bones can cause fractured teeth, choking, intestinal blockages, or even perforations.
We encourage feeding a complete and balanced diet that meets your pet’s nutritional needs and supports their long-term health.
Every pet is unique, and choosing the right food can be hard. Our veterinary team is here to answer your questions and help you make informed nutritional choices.
