Public health officials in Los Angeles County have issued warnings regarding the dangers of feeding pets raw food due to rising concerns about bird flu. A recent outbreak has led to several recalls of popular pet food brands after the avian virus was detected in their products. Notably, a house cat in Washington County died from bird flu after eating raw frozen pet food, prompting a nationwide recall of Northwest Naturals pet food. As health officials report multiple confirmed cases of bird flu among cats in California, they urge pet owners to take precautions, which include avoiding raw pet food and raw milk products, as new studies reveal the flu virus can survive in refrigerated raw milk for up to five days. The situation is alarming as CDC reports over 65 human cases across the nation, raising fears that cats could potentially carry the virus to humans. The public is advised to monitor their pets closely for symptoms and adhere to health guidelines to mitigate risks associated with this outbreak.
