FEARS REGARDING
SALMONELLA & ESCHERICHIA COLI
by Pat McKay
Dogs and cats are carnivores and raw meat is their natural food. Their digestive juices are much more acidic than people’s. The acid in their digestive juices kills these unfriendly bacteria.
Many veterinarians oppose the feeding of raw meat and tend to unjustly blame salmonella, E coli, and parasites when actually the problems come from a weakened digestive system and/or an autoimmune condition caused by feeding cooked, canned, dry foods, and from vaccines, drugs, and chemicals. Enlightened veterinary practitioners realize this and encourage their clients to feed raw meat and not to vaccinate or use drugs or chemicals on their dogs and cats.
In 30 years of working professionally with people and their animals, I have never heard of a case of salmonella or E coli from raw food…fit for human consumption. I have heard of salmonella from animals eating canned pet food, and the worst case of salmonella in this country was in 1998 when several thousands of pounds of cooked baby cereal that were contaminated with salmonella had to be recalled. So don’t think because you are feeding canned or dry food your animals aren’t exposed to salmonella and E coli. Cooking doesn’t necessarily kill these unfriendly bacteria.
The secret to feeding the proper food is to feed raw meat fit for human consumption, HARMONY FARMS, formulated by Pat McKay, which is the food that is available at H F Meats, Inc, in La Crescenta, CA, 818-248-3068.
A complete and balanced meal for dogs and cats is: 75% raw meat and 25% finely ground raw or steamed/mashed vegetables. Some dogs and cats if they are ill and/or kittens and puppies may need more meat, 90% raw meat and 10% finely ground raw or steamed/mashed vegetables and ESSENTIALS4ALL BIO-8 in either Powder or Capsules, and CLO-3-Pearls.
