Safety
Vet confirmation for clinical diets
Specialist and prescription foods should be chosen with your vet, especially for severe allergies, renal disease, urinary conditions or long-term medication plans.
Raw and prey-model are not the same as complete
Raw describes how ingredients are handled; prey-model is a feeding philosophy. Neither phrase by itself confirms that a food supplies every nutrient a dog or cat needs. Check whether a commercial product is labelled complete for the stated species and life stage.
Safety matters
Veterinary organisations highlight hygiene, pathogen, bone and nutritional-balance risks around raw feeding. Homemade diets should not be improvised, especially for growing, pregnant, elderly or medically managed animals.
- Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw food.
- Store and defrost it safely and keep it separate from human food.
- Discuss raw feeding with your vet, particularly where children, older adults or immunocompromised people live.
