So called “raw food diets” may mean different things to different people, but pet owners need to understand the risks associated with feeding diets other than pet food manufactured commercially. On this show, Dr. Richard Hill, a veterinary internal medicine specialist and nutrition expert, discusses why people are often drawn to feeding these types of diets to their pets but lack the understanding of risks associated with them. He’ll also discuss situations where feeding special diets that may consist of certain raw foods could be beneficial, but why discussing your pet’s diet with your veterinarian is so important, especially for animals with certain health conditions.
