Chicken


Chicken wings are great go give to your cat, but only raw. The bones in raw chicken are soft and will not splinter.
It will help to clean their teeth and take away fish breath.
A cats digestive track is shorter than ours and very acidic PH1, so a healthy animal will not be affected by Salmonella. 




Nom nom,
 Yarglee loves chicken wings


Parasites, which are passed up the food chain – roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms – are found in the entrails or gastrointestinal tracts of animals. We don’t feed guts. Even if you buy a commercially available raw food diet, there are no guts in that meat because guts are where the parasites are.

Toxoplasmosis, which can sometimes be found in meat, can be successfully killed if you freeze your meat for a minimum of three days before you feed them to your pet. By freezing meats before you feed them (a lot like sushi) and by removing the guts of prey species, you can successfully avoid transmitting parasites to your pets when feeding them a raw meat diet.
One of the things that is important to recognize when it comes to salmonella or any potentially pathogenic bacteria is that there has to be some contamination. Contamination absolutely does occur. That’s where all the recalls come in, even for human foods. When it comes to salmonella outbreaks, there’s been contamination in the food chain. It’s important to remember that salmonella is not just one species.
There are over 1,800 serovars of salmonella, a gram-negative bacteria. It’s a facultatively anaerobic bacteria that exists in many species of mammals. The most common species of salmonella that exists in dogs and cats is salmonella typhimurium.
The truth is, salmonella can naturally exist in your pet’s GI tract. It’s not necessarily a foreign pathogenic invader.
Factors that increase the likelihood of clinical disease from salmonella include the age of the animal, poor nutrition, the presence of cancer or neoplasia, and other concurrent diseases and stress, as well as the administration of antibiotics, chemotherapy or glucocorticoids [which are steroids].
In conclusion, these potentially harmful bacteria that naturally exist in your pet’s GI tract are there, whether you feed raw foods or not. Your pet is already contaminated with salmonella. Dogs and cats are designed to be able to handle these bacterial loads that are quite foreign to human GI tracts.
