| dc.description.abstract | Raw feeding practices and their increasing popularity, despite concerns being raised on
this diet, among pet owners are an interesting subject for observing preventative qualities of
nutrition. Using the hygiene hypothesis as foundation, this study examined the relationship
between puppyhood diet and adult health status, focusing on food adverse reactions in dogs
in the Netherlands. Data from 327 survey entries was analysed, leading to 266 respondents
eligible for study entry. No significant benefit on risk of food adverse reaction development
of raw feeding practices in puppyhood were found in the final analysis, however: tendencies
towards lower odds were seen for the raw fed dogs. This study, due to its owner-based data, is
very susceptible for bias. Further research into the preventative qualities of raw meat based
diets are therefore necessary before recommendations on feeding practices can be made. | |
