Hmm. I'm surprised that there aren't more charts about this kind of thing. I still think there are major issues with giving bone and balancing the way it is done for raw diet, but it seems that it would be much safter if everything could be "frozen out." lol |
i am not sure about freeze drying, but freezing at 0F stops growth of bacteria, but it may allow bacteria to survive. so during the thawing process, the bacteria that survived can grow and produce toxins...sigh~
