Raw meat or raw egg

Pathogen and nutritional risk

Documented data setDo not offer it as an improvised treat; a home-prepared raw diet is not balanced without veterinary nutrition planning.

Raw meat and eggs can contain pathogens including Salmonella or E. coli, affecting both the dog and people in the household. Repeated raw egg-white feeding can also interfere with the absorption of certain vitamins.

What now?

After a small one-off exposure, monitor the dog and use careful hygiene. Contact a veterinarian for puppies, elderly or ill dogs, or if vomiting, diarrhoea, fever or lethargy develops.
