If you watch National Geographic Wild and Discovery Channel, perhaps you know that dogs’ cousins, wolves and foxes, and lions and tigers, close relatives to our domestic cats, all feed on raw meat-- their prey's carcasses. But does it mean we can use raw meat as cat and dog food in Singapore? The answer is yes! It is unsurprising given that feral and barn cats are great mousers that eat their catch raw.
Here are some safety reminders when feeding raw dog and cat food in Singapore:
1. Consult your pet's veterinarian first.
Before going into BARF dog food in Singapore, it is better to ask your veterinarian if it is safe to do so. If your pet is too old or immunocompromised, it would be difficult for them to manage bacteria and parasites in the raw meat.
2. Keep it balanced.
Dogs and cats are carnivorous animals; however, you should still include a few vegetables, fruits, and cooked grains as their natural source of vitamins and minerals. Remember, there are certain vegetables and fruits your dogs and cats cannot eat, so consult your veterinarian before giving them plants as dog treats in Singapore.
3. Only buy meat from a reputable store.
Some would buy raw fish and meat as cat food in Singapore wet markets. It is advisable to purchase food from reputable stores of raw pet food. They handle the meat and fish according to the safety standard.
4. Handle the meat properly.
You must remember that you can spread foodborne illnesses, such as Salmonella, through raw meat. Make sure to treat your raw dog food in Singapore as if it were your meal. Clean them thoroughly and store them separately from human food.
5. Practice proper hygiene.
Wash your hands before and after preparing a BARF dog in Singapore. You can use gloves for extra protection. Never touch your face and mouth when preparing raw food. Wash your pet's utensils after the meal.
It is 100% safe to feed raw meat to your pet if you understand how.
