The truth about bacteria in dry cat food

The biggest objection to raw cat food is bacteria contamination. But did you know the risk is more prevalent in dry kibble?

Many people believe that dry kibble is impervious to bacteria.

But it isn't!

Even the CDC says dry and canned foods can contain these germs.

So why do they only advise against raw feeding? 🤨

Additionally, the past 10 years of recalls tell us the bacteria contamination risk is higher in dry kibble.

It all comes down to how you source and handle the food!
