Pet owners believe that they are spoiling their pets by feeding them meat scraps and by-products when cutting up, for example, a chicken carcass.
Cats and dogs, of course, are delighted by this, and they can't find a place for themselves. Are these gastronomic pranks really so harmless?
As experts note, by pampering dogs and cats with raw meat, owners expose their animals to serious health risks.
It is not without reason that veterinarians recommend switching animals to specialized feeds.
Contrary to public opinion about self-interest and direct commercial gain, these compositions are balanced and harmless, which cannot be said about the leftovers of home cooking.
Why raw meat is harmful
Despite the fact that it contains an abundance of the same useful substances as dry food, raw meat and offal are harmful to pets.
The fact is that they may contain dangerous bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella, and listeria, which die only after heat treatment.
Such a diet can eventually lead to food poisoning, gastroenteritis, and in some cases, death.
