Hello there! It's great that you're asking questions about your pet's diet. Feeding raw is something many pet owners consider for several reasons. Some believe it's a more natural diet, similar to what animals might eat in the wild. Advocates suggest that raw feeding can lead to shinier coats, healthier skin, cleaner teeth, and more energy.
However, it's important to understand that feeding raw diets can carry certain risks, including bacterial contamination that can affect both pets and humans, as well as potential nutritional imbalances if not properly formulated.
If you're thinking about trying this, start with a gradual transition while monitoring your pet's reaction. Look for improvement in their coat and energy levels, but also watch for any signs of gastrointestinal upset, like vomiting or diarrhea. If you notice any concerning symptoms or changes in your pet’s health, it would be best to stop the diet and consult with a veterinarian.
For now, make sure to handle all raw food with care, keeping it separate from human food, and regularly sanitize your pet’s feeding area. If you have specific questions or want personalized advice, booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet could be helpful. They can guide you based on your pet's individual needs and lifestyle.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
