Thank you, I did ask the question yesterday, but haven't received any information yet. I have fed my dogs a little bit of raw meat for years, they love it so much. It's harder for me to weed out fact from fiction when it comes to the raw diet and as soon as someone says that you can't mix a raw and cooked diet together, I stop reading. |
I found it on the petdiets site, but can't seem to link it so I'm copying and pasting it here, the link was PetDiets - Ask the Veterinary Nutritionist and it was at the bottom of her page #20 (current page 20).
This is a prior Q&A
Question: "Hello! I am a veterinarian in Calgary, AB Canada. Do your formulation recommendations include the use of raw meat or cooked meat?"
Answer: "Can do either ..... We formulate using cooked because there is no significant difference in the final nutrient profile of the diet using cooked or raw meat or eggs. It is simply a food safety issue. After we have formulated the diet and made the recommendation to feed cooked, the owner may do whatever they are going to do." |
