Some people are currently advocating diets containing raw meat for pets. Before feeding raw meat, please stop to consider the health warnings for humans concerning raw meat. Dogs get the same illnesses from E. coli, Salmonella, Toxoplasmosis and other health hazards associated with raw or undercooked meat. Don't let your pet teach you to feed it a poor diet. It is very easy, especially with small dogs and cats, to fall into the trap of feeding your pet what he or she wants instead of what he or she needs.
Dogs are very patient trainers of human beings.
If you're not paying attention, you could find that Spot is on an all meat diet in no time. Inc. Opinions expressed are those of Dr. Richards. 1997,1998,1999,2000,2001- TierCom, Inc.
