A recent study has found a connection between giving dogs raw meat and the rise of bacteria that are resistant to important antibiotics. It’s like when you feed a plant that’s already growing vigorously with extra fertilizer – it can become too strong for its own good. Similarly, the bacteria in the dogs’ guts may become resistant to antibiotics due to the constant exposure to raw meat. This could have serious implications for both the dogs and their owners, as these bacteria can potentially cause infections that are difficult to treat. Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern in human health, and this research highlights how our actions with our pets can contribute to this problem. To mitigate these risks, it’s important for dog owners to be aware of the potential dangers associated with raw meat feeding and to consult with their veterinarians for appropriate alternatives. Further research is needed to fully understand the extent of this issue and identify strategies to minimize the risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in dogs.
New research has revealed an association between the feeding of raw meat to pet dogs and the presence of bacteria resistant to critically important antibiotics.
