Jamila Acfalle's choice of a cat named Villain highlights a growing trend among pet owners to favor raw food diets for their animals, spurred by distrust of processed foods. As a dog trainer, her focus is on providing high-quality, less processed nutrition that mirrors natural diets, a perspective shared by many Americans. Yet this shift towards raw diets, while well-intentioned, raises concerns among experts about potential health risks related to bacteria and viruses that can come with raw pet food.
The CDC and FDA are increasingly worried about raw diets as they can introduce serious health risks. With diseases like bird flu spreading, the consumption of raw pet food could be linked to safety violations, especially as cases were reported of H5N1 in felines. While having pets eat raw food is seen as a move towards healthier options, experts warn that it may bring dangerous pathogens too close, which could have dire consequences for both pets and their owners.
