As someone who doesn't like preservatives and processed foods for myself, let alone my animals, are small pieces of raw beef okay for pet treats on say, on weekly basis?
Answers:
Your cat is just as susceptible to the same disease we are from raw food. This is a bad idea. You can get organic cat treats for your pet
If it is fresh enough that you would eat it then your pet should be fine.
I am not a vet tech, but I have one in our family. Don't give raw meat to your animals. Not a good idea. Raw meat has bacteria that cooking kills.
Hi,
Raw feeding is great! Why not try it for their total diet? Bravo Raw makes a great food,but there are lots of others.Check out on the web. You'll see a huge difference in their litter box odor,almost none..in their coats and in their overall health.Check it out..You wont be disappointed
if you would eat the raw meat go for it
however consider that is your little furry bundle of joy (most of the time) is is worth risking it's health. You can always give it to em cooked, save a little piece when you have it.
The best thing is just to stick with the treats made for cats and they do love them. I had one cat that would try to get into the box herself, had it open once too.
No. For the same reasons it is not safe for humans to eat raw meat.
Feed Innova Evo cat food. It's all natural, and is the exact diet for a feline. You can find it on line or a better pet stores. They even have treats. It's also a raw diet preserved with vitamin E.
A cats digestive system will usually kill any bacteria that can sometimes be found in raw meat. As a matter of fact most show cats are fed a diet of raw meats and veggies. Same with Show Dogs.
I feed my cats a home-made raw meat diet (with a supplement powder). I use organic raw chicken and organic raw turkey. Some raw chicken liver and hearts with the chicken and raw turkey liver and hearts with the turkey. It's important not to mix up the protein sources -- that's the natural way cats eat.
My cats did not like beef, as a matter of fact the one cat who ate it threw it up five minutes later.
See if your cat will eat a raw chopped up chicken wing, a small amount of raw chicken liver and some raw hearts. This is a complete meal for the cat -- lean muscle meat and bone for calcium, Vitamin A in the liver, and taurine in the hearts. If your cat likes this you can buy large packages at the supermarket (hormone and antibiotic free of course), make up the little "meals" and freeze in a large muffin tin and then transfer to a large plastic bag for thawing when needed. This is a totally balanced meal which you can feed three or four times a week.
You do not need to be feeding your pet raw meat. Just like it is for humans, it is dangerous to eat raw meat. You could be indangering your pets, and putting them at risk.
I believe that it's more than ok!! you're doing great! I should be doing the same thing myself with my 2 kitties!
P.S. I luvvvvvv your picture!
