Local Cats Infected with Bird Flu
There have been confirmed reports of local cats (in King and Snohomish counties) infected with bird flu after being fed a raw food diet, specifically Wild Coast Raw, which has previously been linked to infected cats in Oregon. The current strain circulating is considered to be low risk for humans; however, if you are feeding or handling raw food diets for your pets, that risk is increased. We do not recommend any raw food diet for pets due to the potential for serious health risks (for both pet and person) from exposure to harmful bacteria or viruses. If you have any concerns about your pet's diet or health, please contact us.
