Can I give my cat raw chicken necks and raw eggs

Hi there! It's great that you're thinking carefully about what to feed your cat. When it comes to raw chicken necks, many cat owners use them to help clean a cat's teeth naturally. However, there are some risks to consider. Raw chicken can carry bacteria like Salmonella or Campylobacter, which could make your cat sick. If you do decide to offer raw chicken necks, ensure they're fresh and from a reliable source, and always supervise your cat while they eat to prevent choking.



As for raw eggs, they contain a protein called avidin, which can interfere with the absorption of biotin, a B-vitamin essential for healthy skin and coat. Occasional consumption might be okay, but it could lead to nutritional deficiencies if fed frequently.



For both raw chicken necks and eggs, it's important to weigh the benefits against the potential risks. If you notice any signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy after eating these foods, it’s best to stop and consult a vet.
