Any room temperature meat will and can grow bacteria. Most vets are generally against it because of the contamination factor and that most of the time its not balanced. Dogs can and dog get salmonella. If you have children or elderly in your home they recommend not feeding it because you might end up making one of them sick. We also have to keep in mind yorkies have long hair that will get into it so unless you are washing them with soap after they eat your looking at contamination that way as well. Did you check out balanceit.com? Those recipes are made by vet nutritionists and they sell and tell you how much of the supplement to put in. If you want to go home cooked that's probably they best way to go. |
Im checking it but yeah, the foods would have to be boiled.
