Are dogs healthier on a raw diet?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

The American Veterinary Medical Association opposes the unregulated feeding of raw foods and discourages “the feeding to cats and dogs of any animal-source protein that has not first been subjected to a process to eliminate pathogens, because of the risk of illness to cats and dogs, as well as humans.” 24 нояб. 2020 г.


Is a raw diet better than a cooked diet for dogs?

A fresh cooked food diet typically consists of human-grade meat (that has been gently cooked), fresh fruits and vegetables. This type of diet is much healthier for your dog and lowers their risk of being malnourished or exposed to food pathogens like with raw diets.

Is it better for dogs to eat raw meat?

Raw meat is likely to contain harmful bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli and more. Cooking meat to a safe temperature kills off those harmful bacteria. By feeding uncooked meat, there's a higher risk your dog will develop a foodborne illness or other type of bacterial infection.
