Clients love their pets and want the best for them, sometimes disregarding their own safety. A distrust of commercial pet foods has led some clients to make their own pet food or sometimes veterinarians recommend home‐made diets for pets with specific medical conditions. Regardless of why a client decides to make their pet's diet, handling the food properly, especially raw meat, is important for everyone in the home. Clients who embark on preparing pet foods need to be educated on proper food handling, cooking, and storage methods. They need to consider the source of their raw materials, where they are preparing the diets, and the best cleaning methods after cooking. VHTs should have good resources readily available for these clients and not hesitate to engage them in conversations. Poor food practices will endanger the pet, the owner, and especially children in the home.
