Raw Meat and Bacteria
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009It’s natural to be worried about gross meat germs when feeding the raw meat diet. Will my dog or cat get sick? Will I get sick? Will my kitchen be totally filled with bacteria from all the raw meat.
If you have the space, I suggest preparing the meat in a separate place from where you prepare your own food. Perhaps a laundry room, garage or kosher kitchen. I like to wear dishing gloves when I make my own pet food. In fact, I don’t even touch human raw meat – generally I ask Dave to do it.
All meat, regardless of organic status, contains bacteria. Moe’s Meats sells human grade meat, which means it’s as good as what you can buy in the grocery store. Luckily, dogs and cats have a digestive system that is teeming with wonderful enzymes and probiotics that break down the harmful bacteria in the raw meat and allow it to digest without trouble.
It is rare that a pet fed on the raw meat diet will have parasites or bacteria problems. On the raw meat their system is primed to handle all the nasties usually found in raw meat.
Is My Pet Too Old to Start the Raw Meat Diet
Saturday, February 21st, 2009After a lifetime of processed foods, you’ll want to start slow during this transition to raw for your senior pet. Just like with any pet that is new to the raw meat diet, start slow. Their first raw meal should be 3/4 what they normally eat and 1/4 raw meat. You can slowly work your way from there. Pick up some digestive enzymes at your grocery store during their transition and give them a pill with each meal until the bottle is finished. By that time they should be fine with eating raw.
As for the raw meat selection, begin with bland – chicken and turkey. Avoid the richer and fattier meats like organs and duck until your senior pet is used to the raw diet.

Meat Locker

Hi Kids….This is Moe’s business freezer. It’s a business in here, with lots of meat (350 pounds in fact), rec bones and mixed veggies.
If the people’s freezer isn’t packed, that will usually be fine for raw meat storage, depending on the size and number of dogs and cats. When we first started out feeding raw meat we immediately purchased a small freezer to accommodate Satchel’s diet.
If you have any questions about freezer selection, just ask.
