The HuffingtonPost.co web site not too long ago posted an article “Veterinarians Share The 1 Meals They By no means Give Their Canine”.
From the Huffington Put up article – Dr. Sarah Hoggan, medical director of the California-based VCA Animal Hospitals acknowledged: “The primary factor I might not feed my canine can be a uncooked meals weight loss program,” Cohen stated.
Her argument – pathogenic micro organism; “uncooked pet meals was extra more likely to be contaminated with disease-causing micro organism.” She additionally argued that human well being is in danger from uncooked meals; “Kids and immunocompromised adults can contract infections in the event that they deal with uncooked meals or their canine’s [raw food diet] waste.”
It’s unlucky that Dr. Hoggan is unaware that of all pathogenic micro organism recollects (since 2012)…
Greater than 150 million kilos of kibble have been recalled
in comparison with solely 2 million kilos of uncooked pet meals.
Primarily based of FDA Enforcement Report information.
One other veterinarian interviewed for the Huffington Put up article – Dr. Nicki Cohen – was far more widespread sense together with her response. She acknowledged her number one concern is wealthy, fatty human meals that would result in pancreatitis in canines. She additionally is worried about canines consuming chocolate, xylitol sweetened meals, grapes/raisins, onions.
With Huffington Put up solely consulting a Mars Petcare vet and a conventional vet, we determined to ask a extra progressive veterinarian the identical query – a veterinarian that understands each side of the pet meals business (feed and meals).
We requested Dr. Laurie Coger – an integrative veterinarian – what’s the #1 meals she wouldn’t give to her canines? She instructed us…
“A grocery retailer corn primarily based kibble, filled with dyes and chemical preservatives (comparable to BHA, BHT) – made with non-human high quality components.”
And my #1 ‘meals’ I might not give to my very own pets (cats and canines)…
Any meals or deal with that comprises a rendered ingredient (comparable to rooster meal, beef meal or animal fats) or any meals ingredient that’s feed grade. My pets solely eat ‘meals’, they don’t eat ‘feed’.
So what’s yours? The place do you draw the road with what your pet eats?
Wishing you and your pet(s) the most effective,
