NOTE: I didn't include Virginia as a state that has banned declawing. My bad, but not really. The law is so poorly written with so many loopholes that anyone who wants to declaw their cat will find no barriers to doing so in Virginia. I don't count it as a real ban.
Thank you for the info, as well as the webinar with Dr Grognet. I would like to share that Rawr/Eat Like a Lion frozen raw sliders for cats (made in California) has found a lab that can test the food for avian flu. Staring Feb 2025 they will start testing all of their finished poultry (turkey, chicken, duck) sliders, and each bag will have a QR code that allow you to see the test results for the batch you purchased. Rawr does not use HPP. This information about the new test can also be found on their Instagram 1/30/25 post. On another note, Rawr offers two formula's; a "bone in", and a "boneless", which uses ground eggshells for calcium. Also the bones in the "bone in" formula are finely ground. The founder; Sabrina Simmons, recently did an interview on the "Two Crazy Cat Ladies" Youtube channel as well. Most important; my cat LOVES this food!
Thank you so much for this well-written and thorough article. I've been really concerned about my cat who has been exclusively on raw food his whole life. He eats only rabbit however. The last time you wrote an article you seem to think rabbit was okay. Is that still your thought?

Yes, it doesn't seem to be a problem in commercial rabbit facilities nor in wild rabbits--not at this point anyway.
