Since the demand for different meats have increased dramatically in recent years it's caused the way they are raised to change and that includes confining spaces, shots to keep the diseases down and hormones to speed growth. When the meat is slaughtered it picks up all sorts of bacteria including salmonella which can cause typhoid fever, food poisoning & etc. So with all this "before" the meat gets to the grocery stores and butcher shops it's best NOT to eat meat, but if you do, COOK it first. If you want to feed your dog raw meat, then find some wild venison, bison & fowl.
Feeding real food to your dogs and cats is the safest and healthiest by far. |
Aren't Dr. Pitcairn's recipes AAFCO approved?
If they are, they are the same as commercial dog food, so if that isn't balanced, his wouldn't be either...
