Is a Raw Food Diet Better For Your Pet?




Ever heard of the raw food diet, for your pet? Some veterinarians and pet owners seem to believe that the raw meat diet is best for their pets. Sharon Misik, a owner of two Siberian huskies, argues that the raw food diet has changed, and in a way, saved, her dogs lives. 

Misik’s dogs seemed to be suffering from a mysterious illness, causing them trouble with eating and suffering from severe diarrhea. After multiple veterinarian visits and several specialized diets, the raw meat diet was the only thing that worked. “They were like new dogs, happy and healthy,” says Ms Misik.

While this diet worked for Sharon Misik’s Siberian huskies, it doesn’t mean this diet will work on every pet. Many veterinarians happen to discourage this diet. These veterinarians believe that exposing pets to raw food might expose them to harmful bacteria’s, such as salmonella. On the contrary, there are vets who encourage the raw food diet. These vets believe these raw pet foods allow cats and dogs to eat a more natural diet.

This debates between which diet, raw food or processed food, is better for your pet is an ongoing one. Depending on the food and the dog, there’s no saying which diet your animal will live longer on, until further research is done.
