Just thought I mention some info I have come across lately that relates to diet, in particular the Barf diet.
I am not against the Barf diet and mostly feed that diet to my dogs
However for those of you that feed your dogs raw lamb or beef there is a possiblity of it being infected with Neospora caninum. This is a parasite that seems to only affect dogs 1year and under or that have a compromised immune system. It can be in the system of adult dogs and when a female is bred it can affect the puppies with a range of debilitating
symptoms.
Not all doom and gloom though, it can be killed by freezing the meat for 24hrs or by cooking it.
Obviously I am no expert but I thought it was interesting and that I'd pass it on.
