Do ferrets need a raw meat diet or is fancy cat food ok for them?? I'm getting conflicting answers, I hear a lot of people are against raw feeding dogs and ferrets, but a lot say kibble is bad
Anon.
Hope this helps lol.
#There are diets made for ferrets specifically but many are. Questionable.#I recommend Mazuri brand ferret pellets for the best nutritional balance#but yes certain cat foods are sufficient you just really need to know how much protein and taurine and such and such#to make sure you’re getting a good food#feeding raw makes it very hard to balance nutrition and may expose your ferret to food borne illness#you can offer frozen then thawed mice and such and cooked eggs as supplements and treats but not as the main diet

i'm going to cry. look at this fking thang
#SHE'S SOOOOOO SMALL I CAN'T STAND IT....#yes i'm still contemplating a 2nd cat#i wish balancing homemade raw food was less complicated and i wish commercial diets were less expensive but alas.#i'm too scared of catastrophically fucking up the nutritional balance

I need you to know, I am getting a centipede because I keep seeing yours on my dash.
(don't worry though, I'm an experienced bug keeper and did the research to know what I'm getting into, your posts definitely tipped the scales though)
i'm so happy to hear that! how exciting! :D what species are you thinking of getting??
if you'd like any advice or tips on their care do let me know, i'd be happy to help and if you have questions that i can't answer i can put you in touch with people who are way more experienced than me. <3
+ gyomei for tax
#asks#yippeee!#i'm sure you know already if youve done loads of research but just in case:#they need good cross-ventilation at the bottom of their enclosure#NO COCO FIBER/COIR!!!! best go-to is sand mixed with peat or topsoil#remove uneaten food/leftovers asap as buildup of gases is bad for them#one side can be sprayed to keep it damp and the other dry#always provide a water dish#you have to walk a fine line between mycosis and dessication with pedes unfortunately. it can be a little daunting at first#too wet/stagnant = mycosis breeding ground#too dry/no water dish = dessication#a varied diet is best#crickets superworms roaches copper-free cat food and raw meats are all fine

That hand washing poll has me slightly grossed out. i mean, really? Those poll results are … potentially unclean.
Or is it just that I do a lot of things that literally require hand washing for various safety reasons?
Tomorrow I just might keep a running tally. I cannot even estimate what my total is.
#whenever handling raw meat fish eggs I always wash hands#especially after#(and one of my cats is on a special diet bc ibs/food issues#so I handle raw meat for him#plus fish or eggs when I cook those things for myself)#AND#I also deal with some hazardous materials when arting#plus some sorts of art stuff is messy regardless#plus-- ya know#lots of coffee and tea means lots of pee#Oh-- also need to wash my hands after medicating my other cat#AND THEN THERE IS LITTER BOX SHOVELING#must wash hands after that#and sometimes the boys have a lot of business to do in their box

I have trouble with 2 of mine sometimes, but my youngest loses her MIND for Nulo squeezable treats (naturally, we just call them gogurt) - and we had to really establish a routine to when she got this... her most favorite thing in the world! - and it's daily, for her breakfast. This cut down on inappropriate and obsessive being a lot, and she's pretty good about asking quite nicely if she does want an extra one, now.
But yes - give your cats wet food! It's incredibly tragic when kidney issues set in, so get ahead of them. I also recommend raised (porcelain/stainless steel) bowls... especially if there's lots of vomiting issues. This brings the food up to their level, and it's not working against gravity and causing acid reflux, etc. I've found that the tilted-bowl shape I have of one of mine is nice for cutting down on whisker fatigue, as well. Plus it's probably nice not to have to hunch down to eat!
So one of the things that can apparently contribute to kidney issues in cats is if they eat too much dry food and don't drink enough water; cats are adapted to get a lot of their water from their food since they're originally desert animals, and might not get enough water if they don't eat wet food. Unfortunately, Dozy won't eat wet food no matter what; she categorically refuses to touch the stuff. So a few months ago, we were looking for ways to get Dozy more fluids, and my wife noticed at the pet store a cat drink--basically meat broth with some floaty bits in--that was low-protein and meant for cats with kidney issues. So we figured, worth a try, right?
Great news: she loved it. Super tasty apparently. Great success. Along with the kidney-sensitive treats we found, it was a nice way to supplement her diet. Unforseen long-term consequence though: she loved it so much she began demanding it throughout the day. Like, would come up to us and meow, and meow, and meow, and not stop, until we got up, went to the kitchen, and got her some cat drink.
And by doing so on demand, we have unfortunately created a monster: no matter what we are doing at home, Dozy knows that if she sits next to you and meows, 1) you know what she wants, and 2) you know that she will not stop until you get it for her now. And when you do get it, she gets extremely excited. She will bum rush the kitchen door as you enter. She will run around your feet as you open the can. She will let out the creakiest, crunchiest, most nails-on-the-chalkboard meow you've ever heard if she thinks you're not going fast enough.
I do not begrudge her this. It is gratifying to care for a creature whose most ardent desires are so simple that it is this easy to fulfill them. But I am a little sad, because I know in my heart that I have never loved any comestible as much as she loves this cat drink. She has a pleasure of a purity and intensity that I will never know.
[the creacher in question]
#cats#cat care#cat health#lots of water in their diets#I get Chewy's freeze dried raw food and grind it up in the blender#then mix that dust with a pouchb of cat food that's mostly liquid and add some water#and doing that for their dinners has seen the glossiest coats on these babies!

I followed my vet's advice to a T and absolutely zero results. So then I followed a hunch of my own and...voila!
So I love my vet and she's the only reason I would hesitate to move too far away. I went through a lot of vets to find her when I was having trouble with my first cat.
I've grown and learned a lot and will always be learning more. I know anecdotal evidence is not great. I KNOW this. But the problem is there often isn't much else to go off of! And nutrition is especially lacking in veterinary medicine. All of the research is pretty much in the hands of the big pet food companies. Which is obviously suspect.
I have also learned that human doctors don't do a lot of nutrition schooling, which I believe carries over to how veterinary schools work. But at least there are human nutritionists that can fill that gap a little bit. That's not common for veterinary medicine.
Anyway, I refuse to believe feeding corn/wheat/soy/legumes/plant starches in high proportions can be good for obligate carnivores like cats. Zoologists and wildlife experts try to fit diet for captive animals in their care as close to what they would eat in the wild as possible. Why would it be different for domestic animals? Their brains are a little different from their wild ancestors which makes them domesticated, but their digestive systems have not experienced consistent evolutionary pressure for long enough to cause big changes there.
What Hills and Purina recipe formulators and scientists do is start with a cheap base of calories (corn, soy, or wheat) and add in supplements till it meets the basic nutritional needs for a cat to not develop short term problems (for a couple years). Long term problems do develop, because animals get sick. (But also I suspect that they get sick more often than they would because of the diet.) And they take their base formula and see if they can tweak things like pH and concentrations of vitamins and minerals to conteract a specific illness until they get results. It works for some diseases, so those they make food for and market it to vets. It goes through research and trials and results are measurable, so they're convincing and scientific! And they can sell them as a prescription diet at a huge markup.
But they don't do any research to see if feeding a more biologically appropriate ingredient profile would have even better results, or not lead to the problems in the first place. And they don't check long term to see if their tweaked prescription diet might cause other long-term problems down the line.
For example, I have never heard of a cat who has only ever been fed wet food and/or properly hydrated raw food who ended up with urinary crystals. It's very common in cats that eat dry kibble, though (but don't worry! Hills has several prescription diets for that!).
Anyway, I largely operate off the idea that I should feed wet and get as close to a carnviorous diet as possible with my cats. Not easy to avoid all problematic ingredients in commercial foods, but I don't feel confident enough that I have the time and energy to make my own at this point.
Petra started having loose stool about 8 months ago. No other symptoms. Vet went through the checklist with bloodwork and a detailed ultrasound, leading to a diagnosis of simple colitis. Vet told me I could keep feeding her normal food, but I just had to add a probiotic in the morning and beer root fiber powder in the evening.
Now, I already give a probiotic that I've had great results with. It completely cured my first cat's constipation, and I have noticed that if I don't give it, my otherwise healthy current cat Purrcy seems to get a little constipated. My theory, and this I admit could have no merit because it's just an idea I can't prove, is that wild cats eat the intestines of their prey and get a dose of naturally occurring probiotics every meal that way, so maybe their intestines aren't built to maintain a healthy microbiome without redosing every meal.
So I give my cats probiotics. I worked for a bit in microbiome research, so I know enough to know that we really don't understand why probiotics work or what certain strains are doing exactly, but we know from trial and error that there are benefits. I started with an expensive pet probiotic with several strains and good reviews, which worked. I eventually switched to a human brand with a few strains that have good general reputations, high CFU count, and good reviews. That worked just as well.
My vet gave me a Purina brand probiotic to use instead. She said try it and see, and if I didn't see results I could go back. This prescription (expensive) Purina probiotic only has 1 strain that I hadn't been using, but I didn't do any research on it so I don't know much about it. I was going to follow her instructions exactly, though, to see if there was anything to it.
So I gave the new probiotic and the fiber in my cat's food, slowly increasing the amount of fiber as directed. I reached the full dose she initially recommended, but she said I could do more, so when I saw no improvement, I eventually went up to double that.
6 weeks of no improvement. Her stool might even have gotten more watery. And on top of that, Petra had stopped eating as much of her food, either because she could taste the fiber at that dose or it was making her feel too full.
I was willing to try the plant fiber additive. Sometimes when you have an illness you need an atypical diet. That happens. But after it didn't work, I decided to try something else.
In the past I tried a lot of different foods with my constipation-prone cats. Most raw foods I couldn't feed 100% of the time, because they tend to have a rather high bone content, since they grind the meat whole with the bone in. Too high and it would make constipation worse. (There was ONE brand that substituted bone with eggshells as a calcium source and it was amazing until the FDA shut it down after testing a sample that had been in a hot car all day. I'll never forgive that. RIP Radcat!)
But, maybe bone was what I needed to firm up my cat's stool and get her colon back on track, since fiber wasn't doing it.
So I got a couple types of commercial raw. One brand Petra loved immediately. It's been 2 days and already her stool has form to it again!
I'll have to monitor for constipation in the other cat, since trying to separate their food seems to give them a whole new anxiety disorder. Maybe I'll have to tinker a ratio of wet and raw. But I think I'm finally on the right track!
I'm going to tell my vet what I discovered and I'm sure she'll be fine. Like I said, I think she's great! But there are still a lot of unknowns in veterinary medicine.
I don't think there's any magical property about raw food that makes it better than canned or kibble. (I do think there are a lot of dental benefits to feeding whole prey raw or pieces of raw meat/bones, but that's a whole other post). The commercial raw food I buy has been pasteurized, so does it really even count as "raw" still? But what's important is these raw foods tend to have species-appropriate ingredients, and this isn't the first time I've seen that kind of diet make a difference.
#this is a crazy long post about a VERY small medical problem my cat was dealing with#but I just have a lot of thoughts and feelings about pet food#and it's like one of those things where if you don't explain very carefully and thoroughly#it sounds like you don't trust science and vets and doctors#and you can easily go down the pseudoscience path with pet food#the raw food pet companies aren't unproblematic just because Science Diet is sucks#I wish I could express this kind of nuance simply but I haven't figured that out yet#same thing with pet vaccines#like of course vaccines work and they are lifesaving!#and we are also overvaccinating pets A LOT#anyone who's researched this has come to that conclusion#but we're too scared to acknowledge too many vaccines can be harmful in animals with shorter lifespans than us because we're worried people#will stop vaccinating all together and we'd rather risk kidney disease in all of our elderly cats than panleukopenia outbreaks in kittens#it's tough!#cats#pet food

Is it appropriate to give your cat a raw diet?
Do cats do well on a raw-food diet? Regular fresh or canned food cannot be substituted for uncooked meat or dairy in a raw diet. Selecting cat food may be very confusing, particularly in light of recent recalls of commercial pet foods. To ensure they are aware of precisely what is found in their cat's food, some owners decide to feed their pets diets that they have created at home. These diets made at home might be raw or cooked. To emulate a feline's natural diet in the wild, many owners choose to feed their pets raw food. Read More...

me every day begging ppl on facebook to listen to their actual vet and not someone on the internet who has zero qualifications whatsoever
#person: six vets have told me i should feed my cat this clinically proven prescription diet that literally doubles the life expectancy#of cats with this condition. but ppl on facebook say i shouldn't :/ what do i do#me: FUCKING FEED IT TO HIM OBVIOUSLY#some other fucking dingbat: just lie to the professional who is trying to save your cat's life ;) and feed them raw chicken instead#im TEARING MY HAIR OUT.#they'll all be like “every single vet tells me i should feed the specially formulated prescription food. idk why tho”#BECAUSE IT WORKS. IT FUCKING WORKSSSSSS#and then i show up like “hey my cat has had this disease for almost 2 years and hasn't progressed basically at all”#and they'll be like “omg what's your secret bestie” and expect me to list off a dozen random supplements or meds#or weird products that have no evidence behind them except “someone on fb said it was good”#and im like IT'S THE FOOD. I FEED HER THE SPECIAL DIET LIKE I WAS TOLD TO. THAT'S IT.#it's so exhausting and im tired of having this fight#but also if i can convince even one person to actually follow their vet's advice and give their cat the proper food. how can i not#it upsets me so much tho. like im in the group because they are helpful in some ways. there are vets IN the group#and they help you interpret blood test results and stuff and they are genuinely good in some ways#but when food is the number 1 most important thing you can do for ckd cats#and EVERYONE in this fucking group will just immediately try and talk every scared newbie with a sick cat into ignoring their vet's advice.#it boils my piss honestly#im half expecting to be kicked out of the group at some point cos most if not all of the admins including the lady who runs the group#are on the same bullshit. but what can i do#at least i did get some satisfaction the other day when one of the admins (who is a vet but can't give advice bc like. that's illegal#when she hasn't seen the cat in question) asked one lady what her vet thought abt x#and the lady was like “oh i don't trust my vet i prefer talking to you guys :)”#and the admin was like. okay well you're a fucking idiot. get off facebook and talk to an actual veterinary professional

Ghost: This is my purebred German shepherd. He’s a retired K9 from my old unit I decided to adopt. We called him Riley so it felt like it was meant to be. I feed him a raw diet of the highest quality protein, sometimes I get him a steak because he’s a good boy that deserves good things.
Soap: This is my cat. I found him in the dumpster eating a cupcake. His name is Bomb and I think he’s the spawn of Satan but that’s okay. I try to feed him cat food, wet and dry, but he’d rather steal my bread from the kitchen. I invested in a bread box as a result… which did not deter the thieving of bread…

hey strange! So I know you’ve fed your cats the Carna4 brand for a while (correct me if I’m wrong or if thats changed) and I’ve been feeding my cat that brand also for about a year now ever since I got him (he’s 2 yo). He recently had a seizure and we discovered its due to his diet lacking thiamine/B1 vitamins. Bc Carna4 has raw fish in its ingredients it cancels out the vitamins and could leave your cat severely deficient, as mine is, according to the doc and the MRI scan. I thought I should inform you bc this has been terrifying and I don’t wish it on anyone or any cat. Pls feel free to message me if you need more info I’d be happy to share! Also my cat is an orange cat and I know breeds and genetics are a thing so maybe your cats are totally fine but I still thought you should know.
Thank you for sharing this! Wishing your orange boy a full recovery!!
I had no idea this was a thing. I also feed my cats other raw foods and treats with different protein sources but I think after reading this I will diversify their diet even more.

Notes: uwuwuwuwu
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
(Name) Stretched his bones as he sunbathed in a garden he found, the dragon stretched out and his scales glimmered in the sunlight.
The lawn was soft, fancy grass that felt wonderful against his scales as he huffed sleepily, eyes blinking lazily and without a worry in the world as the ribbons in his little horns swished in the gentle breeze, the gold accessories on his head and horns jingling slightly with the wind chimes in the engawa a few feet away.
Dragons couldn't be seen by normal humans so (name) often made his way into gardens or sleeping on couches or chairs... Basically the little mythical reptile did as he pleased as he scratched his little whiskered face and sneezed a little and a flower bloomed where the golden dust hit, a single orchid grew up.
"Well you aren't a cursed spirit" a voice broke out and (name) looked up to see blue eyes and immediately the small cat sized dragon jumped up startled and ran behind a decorative rock "I take it you're the little one leaving tiny paw prints in my sand garden" the man was crouched as he smiled at the dragon who glared and grumbled at him, a little baby hiss.
Who was this?
Why was he seeing him?
(Name) Was only a toddler in human years, running on instinct as he got ready for a fight.
But the human seemed unphased.
Gojo cooed at the little guy, he knew there was something living in his garden but he never thought it would be a fortune god or a baby one at that "where's your mama little one" he asked sweetly and sat down as he grabbed the pieces of chicken he grabbed when he saw the little one lounging "want some chicken?" That got the little guys attention as he chirped, the sound of little chimes could be heard as he carefully walked towards the good smelling food and before Gojo could even blink the dragon took it and ran back behind the tree.
(Name) Sniffed the chicken he took and deemed it safe and began munching on the chicken, glancing at the human periodically to make sure he didn't take it.
"You're the one whose been sneaking around eating birds, probably the one eating my koi" he teased as he watched the dragon eat the chicken happily before coming back for more, batting his snoot against his hand "I got plenty of chicken and even some salmon inside if you want some" he offered the dragon who let himself be lifted up as he ate more chicken from the white haired human, very food driven indeed.
Gojo noticed a gold charm on the dragons forehead, (name), inscribed on it and the man hummed as they got more food for the little guy.
He loved watching (name), he was absolutely hilarious and precious!
(Name) Liked to do his own little thing, mainly fight his own shadow and chase bugs but he did his own thing regardless.
He had to show Geto!
"So you found a dragon..." Geto said as they watched (name) eat his new balanced diet, little face messy "you know he won't be a dragon fully forever right?" He said and Gojo shrugged "I'm his dad now, currently he eats raw chicken hearts and salmon but when he's bigger he can have tempura and rice" he said simply as (name) blinked up at them before trotting off "he does his own thing" Gojo said simply and Geto worried for Gojos... Could it even be seen as parenting?
He definitely had to keep an eye on this situation.
The following days went daily smooth as Gojo took time off to be with his new son, (name) having morning zoomies in the yard before breakfast and a nap, the sorcerer doing some work from home as the dragon slept in his lap, imprinting hard on him.
But the dragon would often wonder off, vanishing for periods of time before eventually returning and Gojo decided to follow him.
(Name) Was weirdly interested in under Gojos bed, the man had no clue why though until he looked under to find things from his jewelry to coins to soft blankets, all on top of the fluffy dog bed Gojo got his little buddy "there's my Rolex..." Gojo grumbled but let the little guy keep it, clearly he was very happy with it all.
Something Gojo noticed as well was he would have random coins in his pockets in pants, better hair days and he was feeling better and it wasn't until he saw his little... Son? Yeah son! Drop coins in his shoes and pockets and golden dust sprinkled on his mask after the dragon finished cuddling it "do you do have a bit of magic in ya" gojo lifted the dragon up whose hind legs curled up and his long tail curled between his legs, little head tilt before sneezing gold dust on his face.
"Gross"
Bling!
Setting (name) down he checked his phone to see that meeting he was planning on being late too was cancelled "why thank you, son" Gojo pet the dragons little head and chuckled when he aggressively kicked his leg and leaned in to the touch.
Gojo did his research, Jujutsu sorcerer's kept documentation on God's and such, wasn't the first time they saw one and won't be the last and realized he would need to be ready for when he stopped being a little dragon full time and quickly grabbed his laptop and ordered away.
Gojo set up a bedroom for his adoptive dragon son, a toddler bed and toys that the little one played with kind of.
The room had everything he could need and even got pull-ups in case the kid couldn't figure out toilets.
Should he get a nanny?
Maybe he should look into that... And a tutor... His kid was not cut for public education.
It wasn't until four months in that he got woken to a tiny little hand, eyes snapping open to see a tiny face with big (color) eyes and scales that framed bits of his cheeks and forehead "papa, breakfast!" He said impatiently and gojo realized that this random child was the dragon he took in, the tiny tail swishing at the boy wore traditional clothes lined with gold "yeah? And what does my son want today?" He teased as he got up and lifted the boy into his arms, blessed energy radiating off him like an eclipse "hot dog!"
"A hot dog for breakfast? Thats not breakfast!" It was weird how easy he fell into the role of dad, making his son eggs and hot dogs as compromise and the boy devoured it happily.
Gojo was thankful he had the forethought to get the boy more clothes though the tot leaned towards more traditional robes than anything and Gojo assumed it had something to do with being a god.
"Fancy clothes for my fancy son" he said as he had the seamstress he typically went to put together a bunch of robes for the boy, his little one was so cute!
Geto came by frequently, (name) plenty used to him as the boy ate fancy chicken nuggets as his tail swished lazily "why is he dressed like royalty?"
"Why do you dress like a monk?"
"Touche"
"You know you can't hide him from the elders forever right?" Geto worried for the boy, the elders were assholes who would exploit the fact that the little one was the literal god of fortune, having done some research to find that (name) goes through "rebirth" periods, once he gets too old he just reverses his age and starts new, he wondered if he retained his memories....
"I would love for them to try" Gojo said coldly, a smile on his face as he pat his sons head fondly, the boy grinning at his dad and offering him some of his half eaten nugget "papas full, little man" he rejected kindly and (name) resumed eating as the adults spoke.
(Name) Was just happy to have more meat, Gojo always having the best food especially for the literal only other Gojo family member (if you try to tell him (name) wasn't you would be turned to a fine mist by the blue eyed man) who looked at him like he hung the stars and painted the moon.
"Oh? What's up?" Gojo asked and Geto looked confused as (name) suddenly handed him a few coins "he just has those" Gojo shrugged and Geto raised an eyebrow "he keeps using his magic to summon coins, he keeps giving them to the fridge though..." (Name) Practically worshipped the fridge, the tiny god hugging it often and mumbling "chicken..." Happily as Gojo took pictures of the little goober.
"Though he has granted a wish" Gojo said softly as Geto looked shocked, looking back at the tot who was full and sleepy, a soggy nugget in his hand "what did he grant?" He asked curiously and Gojo sipped his tea "he saw something on tv, I was watching the news and there was a report on a missing dog and the man looked distressed" setting his cup down and taking off his glasses as he continued '(name) touched the tv and poof, the dog was running to his owner" Geto still couldn't grasp the fact that he was sitting before a literal god, the god of fortune no less.
A being that could completely alter reality but all he wanted was chicken and getting to chase birds.
Eventually Geto left and Gojo brought his son for his afternoon nap, a stuffed lucky cat in his arms as he snoozed.
It was weird for Gojo to sit and think about the fact he was a dad... To a fucking dragon god!
But it was worth it because (name) was odd yes, but he looked at Gojo like he was his dad.
It's why he used his standing to put together papers so (name) would be a Gojo legally.
Now he just had to make sure the Zenin clan didn't go near him.

Is Your Pup Ready to Roar? Raw Food for Puppies - Age & Benefits
Starting Your Pup on Raw: A Guide to Raw Food Diets for Puppies
Raw food diets, consisting primarily of uncooked meat, bones, fruits, and vegetables, are a popular choice for some pet owners. This blog explores the optimal time to introduce your furry friend to a raw food lifestyle, addressing the question: can you start a puppy on a raw food diet?
Is a Raw Food Diet Safe for My Puppy?
Raw food diets can be a healthy option for some puppies, but it's crucial to ensure the diet is balanced and meets their specific needs. Unlike commercially processed kibble with pre-measured nutrients, raw food diets require more planning and attention to detail. Consulting a veterinarian or pet nutritionist is highly recommended to create a customized plan for your pup.
When Can I Start My Puppy on Raw Food?
The good news is, you can actually introduce your puppy to a raw food diet as early as they're weaned from their mother, typically around 8-12 weeks old. This early introduction allows them to develop a taste for raw food and potentially experience a lifetime of health benefits like:
Stronger Bones: Raw diets often include bones, which can aid in healthy bone development for your growing pup.
Healthier Skin: The natural oils and nutrients in raw food may contribute to a healthier and shinier coat for your dog.
Improved Digestion: Raw food may mimic what dogs would eat in the wild, potentially leading to easier digestion and better nutrient absorption.

How Do I Transition My Puppy to Raw Food?
Remember, slow and steady wins the race! The key to a successful transition is gradualism. Begin by slowly introducing small amounts of raw food alongside their current kibble. Over a period of days or weeks, gradually increase the amount of raw food while decreasing the kibble. This allows your puppy's digestive system to adjust comfortably to the new food source.
Are There Any Special Considerations for Starting a Raw Food Diet?
Balanced Diet: While historical recommendations focused on variety, a truly balanced raw food diet should be customized based on your puppy's age, size, and activity level. Consulting a pet nutritionist is highly recommended.
Safe Handling: Proper hygiene is crucial when dealing with raw food. Always wash your hands thoroughly and clean surfaces used for preparing and feeding raw food.
Storage: Freezing raw food until mealtime is generally recommended to prevent bacterial growth.
