Common Misconceptions Of Gently Cooked Dog Food
BACTERIA RISK
A common misconception is that gently cooked food might harbor bacteria since it is not cooked at extremely high temperatures. However, cooking at around 80°C is sufficient to destroy common pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli, ensuring the food is safe for consumption since Salmonella and E.coli bacteria are killed around 60 – 70°C.
BIOLOGICAL APPROPRIATENESS
Raw feeders might believe that gently cooked food is less biologically appropriate than raw diets when compared to their wild counterparts who mainly eat raw. However, the opposite is true. Raw food does offer nutritional benefits, while gently cooked food using similar ingredients, retains these benefits while providing additional safety from pathogens especially for pets who have immuno deficiencies.
Wet pet food is often considered better than dry pet food for several reasons, though this depends on the individual pet’s needs and the quality of the specific products.
