Oregon Cat's Death Sparks Warning Over Raw Pet Food Contaminated with Bird Flu

In a concerning development, health officials in Los Angeles County are urging pet owners to steer clear of raw cat food following the tragic death of a feline linked to the H5N1 bird flu virus. The incident has raised alarms about the potential risks associated with feeding pets raw meat and unprocessed pet food products.

The cat's demise has prompted officials to emphasize the importance of food safety for pets, particularly in light of the increasing prevalence of avian influenza. The H5N1 virus, primarily affecting birds, can pose a serious threat to other animals, including domestic pets.

Pet owners are advised to be vigilant and consider the implications of feeding their cats raw diets, which may not only endanger their pets but also pose health risks to humans. As a precaution, it is recommended that pet owners consult with veterinarians regarding safe feeding practices and opt for commercially prepared pet food that meets safety standards.
