My vet is skeptical in regards to raw diet due to VBNC (viable-but-not-culturable) cells.
("Some species of bacteria, when they are under stressful conditions will produce spores. Spore production is like cell division, but the cell that is produced is completely free of water and it has special coating which makes it impenetrable to to radiation and dry heat.")
So he says that these pathogens are a heavy risk to take for your pet.
They can be killed by cooking, but not freezing.
But in my research of raw diet I haven't found those problems....
SSSSSSOOOOOOOOO
opinions?
