New resources from the CDC on the risks of raw pet food
Raw pet food contains animal protein that hasn't been cooked or heated to a high enough temperature to kill all germs. While some pet food and treat companies use irradiation, high pressure processing, dehydrating or freeze drying to package raw products, there's no guarantee they've eliminated dangerous germs.
Here's a quick list of common ingredients you'll find in raw pet foods and treats:
- Uncooked muscle meat.
- Uncooked organ meat.
- Uncooked bones.
- Uncooked eggs.
- Unpasteurized milk.
