Good hygiene isn’t just a routine, it’s a major part of keeping your pets healthy, preventing contamination and ensuring every raw meal stays fresh and safe. Here’s why it matters and how you can make it effortless at home:
> Store Safely
Keep raw meals frozen and thaw only in the fridge.
Why it matters: Controlled temperatures prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying, keeping your pet’s food safe from the very start.
> Clean Bowls = Happy Bellies
Wash water and food bowls with hot, soapy water after every meal.
Why it matters: Residue from raw meals can harbour bacteria, leading to stomach upsets or infections.
> Dedicated Prep Areas
Use a separate chopping board or surface for raw pet food.
Why it matters: It prevents cross-contamination with surfaces used for your family’s meals.
> Hands Matter Too
Wash your hands before and after handling raw food.
Why it matters: Clean hands stop the spread of germs between your pet’s food, your kitchen and your family.
> Serve Fresh, Ditch the Rest
Give portions your pet will finish quickly, and discard leftovers after 20-30 minutes.
Why it matters: Raw food spoils fast at room temperature, which can affect both safety and digestibility.
Smart hygiene keeps pets thriving, homes cleaner and mealtimes worry-free.
