Presentation Description / Summary: Most veterinarians consider all raw pet foods to present the same major risks of pathogen contamination and nutritional inadequacy. In truth, homemade pet foods generally the deserve this reputation. However, commercial raw pet food companies employ a variety of measures to ensure safety - some more than others.

3. Provide the participant with a set of questions by which to evaluate a raw pet food company
4. Improve conversations about raw between veterinarians and their interested clients
