Is pet food that contains chicken or chicken products safe togive my pet?
It depends on your pet, of course. Assuming that your pet is a dog or cat, the answer is a qualified yes. The chicken in premium pet foods is cooked thoroughly and tested for a number of food-borne pathogens. Chicken is safe and healthy protein, but can still cause stomach upset in sensitive pets. For the healthiest diet, remember that dogs are omnivores and require vegetables and greens, as well. Imagine what your dog would eat in the wild: birds, small animals like lamb and turkey, eggs and wild grains and even berries.
