One potential benefit of a raw food diet for cats and dogs is that it may provide a more natural and biologically appropriate diet for them. Supporters of raw food diets claim that it can lead to shinier coats, healthier skin, cleaner teeth, and better digestion in pets.
However, there are also several drawbacks to raw food diets. One major concern is the risk of bacterial contamination, which can lead to serious illness or even death in pets and humans. Raw food diets can also be nutritionally unbalanced, leading to deficiencies or excesses of certain nutrients. Additionally, raw food diets can be expensive and time-consuming to prepare.
