I know animal digestive systems are different from humans, but I always wash my hands, cutting boards, dishwear, knives, etc. that contact raw meat really well! Always worry about e-coli, etc. from raw meats. Now, my husband allowed the outdoor farm cats to have fresh-caught, raw fish leftovers, when he cleaned his fish by the garage. Then, he rinsed the fillets at kitchen sink before frying; he cleaned off sink with Brillo pads. The outdoor cats really loved the fish remains, but he does not give raw meat remains to our indoor Yorkie pup. Taffy has always has mixed doggie canned food & kibble, and some cooked treats every so often. I just feel leary of raw meat, period. But, everyone has their own opinions on this. |
