The trend for raw meat dog food could be putting owners at risk of dangerous bugs, scientists warned yesterday.
The raw meat is said to be similar to a dog’s diet if they were in the wild, giving them fresher breath and a shinier coat.
But a study has found the food, made mainly from offal, uncooked meat and bones, contains food poisoning bugs, including E.coli and salmonella.
