The ongoing bird flu outbreak in the US has prompted a second voluntary recall of raw pet food after cases of H5N1 were found in cats in Oregon and Washington. Raw food from Wild Coast Raw is under scrutiny, as two households in Oregon detected sickness in their cats linked to this meat. This highlights the emerging concerns regarding pet food safety and the potential for transmission of the virus from pets to humans. Since 2022, around 100 domestic cats have been confirmed to have the disease in the US. Vigilance is urged among pet owners regarding raw food diets.
