Avian Influenza Risk and Raw Pet Food: What You Need to Know
By Dr. Keith Weingardt, DVM

Attention pet owners: A recent case in Oregon has raised concerns about the risk of avian influenza in pets. Tragically, a cat succumbed to the virus, and the case was linked to a raw poultry product. It highlights the importance of assessing the safety of the raw food you feed your pets.

Key Points for Protecting Your Pets:
1. Source Matters
Ensure the raw food you purchase comes from companies inspected by the USDA/FSIS. These inspections are designed to detect diseases like avian influenza during processing, significantly reducing the risk of contamination.

2. High-Pressure Pasteurization (HPP)
Consider raw food brands that use HPP. Studies indicate this method is effective in eliminating viruses, including avian influenza, while retaining the nutritional benefits of raw diets.

3. Do Your Research
Carefully review the sourcing and safety measures of the raw food brands you use. Companies that prioritize rigorous testing and safety protocols are your best choice.

4. Future Safety Measures
Testing for avian influenza in raw pet food is expected to become more widely available in the coming months. This advancement will provide additional security for pet owners who choose raw diets.

Dr. Keith's Recommendation:
While I do not advise avoiding raw pet food altogether, it is prudent to exercise caution. Choose commercial products from reputable sources with strong safety measures. As always, your pet’s health and safety should come first.

Stay informed. Stay safe.

I've spent a lot of time studying Longevity Medicine over the past 4 years. One of the things that I have found fascinating is how beneficial fasting can be on our health and that of our pets. I have a really hard time witholding food from my animals because I put so much love and good intention into the process. Plus they are such creatures of routine that I fear the consequences! ;-) When I came across this article it reinforced all the things I know to be true about fasting. It has inspired me to take some steps towards inacting this process in my life and for my pets. https://humanandpets.com/blogs/pet-nutrition/how-fasting-can-improve-your-dogs-health-and-longevity #

Fasting is a practice that has been used by humans for centuries for various health benefits, and now, pet owners are beginning to recognize its potential advantages for their furry friends as well.

As the New Year approaches, I always find myself reflecting on things. I read a lot and came across this quote that really resonated and I wanted to share:

"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place." - Paulo Coelho
