Is Raw Food Diet Safe for Cats? I believe every cat owner have questioned this at least once. Cat health is important and becomes paramount when a cat illness strikes. What is the best food for cats – dry food, wet food, or raw food? Let’s touch on raw food.

When you start thinking about raw food diet for your cat, the first question is “What is raw food feeding all about?” and the second is – “Is raw food diet safe for my cat?”. It is natural for cat owners who never fed their cat with raw food to think “Oh gosh, my cat just ate raw meat! Will the cat get worms now?!”

Dr. Karen Becker, a proactive and integrative wellness veterinarian from the Natural Pet animal clinic, talks about why it is beneficial to feed your cat a diet consisting of raw meat and addresses a few common questions that scare many cat owners.
