“…Rationen marginal. Die fettlöslichen Vitamine A und D können in Abhängigkeit von den Rationskomponenten sowohl sehr niedrig als auch extrem hoch sein [7,10,13]. In einer Untersuchung von Wendel et al konnte auch gezeigt werden, dass in einer kommerziellen BARF-Ration für Welpen, die als "Alleinfutter" deklariert war, nur 20 % der minimalen Empfehlung für die Kalziumzufuhr für Welpen enthalten war[18].…”

Das Füttern von sog. BARF-Rationen ist ein aktueller Ernährungstrend bei Hunden. Der Übersichtsartikel beschreibt das tierärztliche Spannungsfeld zwischen Motivation und Kenntnisstand der Hundebesitzer auf der einen Seite und den wesentlichen Nachteilen der BARF-Fütterung auf der anderen Seite. Bei vielen Hundebesitzern besteht der Wunsch nach einer „natürlichen und gesunden Fütterung“, wohingegen die Nachteile der BARF-Fütterung maßgeblich durch Imbalancen in der Nährstoffzufuhr und der Kontamination mit Salmonellen hauptsächlich durch rohes Geflügelfleisch gekennzeichnet sind.

“…The diet has become increasingly popular as many owners view raw food as a more natural and healthier alternative to commercial pet food, but the actual benefits remain unproven ( Morelli et al ., 2019 ). Many studies raise the question of whether BARF can be considered an appropriate type of diet from a health ( Strohmeyer et al ., 2006 ; van Bree et al ., 2018 ; Davies et al ., 2019 ; Bottari et al ., 2020 ) and nutritional point of view ( Mack and Kienzle, 2016 ). The findings of this case report and those of two previous reports ( Berberich et al ., 2022 ; Campbel and Jones, 2023 ) underline that there is a real risk in regularly feeding dogs with homemade BARF recipes, as these can be accidentally prepared with raw meat contaminated by L. serrata infective nymphs.…”

Background: Linguatula serrata is a pentastomid zoonotic parasite with worldwide distribution. Although some cases of L. serrata infection have been reported in dogs, the epidemiology of this parasite remains largely unknown in developed countries. In recent years, canine linguatulosis has been repeatedly linked to cases of imported infections. This study aims to focus attention on this uncommon parasite through the presentation of a case report and an overview of the literature. Case Description: A 1-year-old intact female Borzoi imported from Romania to Italy sneezed spontaneously a worm-like parasite specimen. Morphological and molecular diagnosis identified the parasite as a female of the zoonotic pentastomid L. serrata (so-called European tongue worm) that lives in the nasopharyngeal tract of canids. Eggs of Linguatula were detected in the faeces. Molecular identification (99-100% homology) was based on DNA extraction, PCR of a 700-bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene, and alignment with BLAST analysis. Due to the possibility of other adult or juvenile specimens of the parasite still occurring in the dog, a treatment attempt with a combination of febantel/pyrantel/praziquantel was made. No parasite eggs were detected in fecal samples after the drug was administered. Endoscopy confirmed the absence of adult parasites and slight pathological changes. A follow-up examination conducted three months after the treatment did not reveal any clinical and laboratory abnormalities. Conclusion: L. serrata appears to be currently prevalent in some European countries, but there are no recent extensive studies on the prevalence of canine linguatulosis, so the parasite frequently remains undetected and unreported in dogs as the diagnosis is often overlooked. Parasites not commonly found such as L. serrata can become increasingly prevalent and may be detected in imported dogs. Therefore, veterinarians must be aware of the possible presence of uncommon and exotic pathogens in these dogs, be able to recognize the relevant clinical signs, and diagnose the infection quickly. This will improve the prognosis in individual dogs, reduces the risk of possible public health implications, and reduces the risk of uncommon and exotic pathogens establishing new endemic foci.

“…A variety of commercial raw meat‐based diets (RMBD) and brands are available in most pet shops and supermarkets (Freeman & Michel, 2001; Freeman et al., 2013). RMBDs, which are not heat treated before they are refrigerated or frozen (Mack & Kienzle, 2016; Morgan et al., 2017; Stogdale, 2001), usually consist of uncooked meat, edible bones and organs from various types of animals. In recent years, RMBDs have gained increasing popularity among dog owners who prefer not to feed their pets conventional dry or canned pet food for several reasons (Empert‐Gallegos et al., 2020; Morelli et al., 2019; Morgan et al., 2017; Thomas & Feng, 2020; Viegas et al., 2020).…”

Background: Salmonella contamination of raw meat-based diets (RMBDs) for pets poses a major public health concern but has not been investigated in Japan.Objective: To investigate Salmonella contamination in RMBDs for dogs marketed in Japan and the anti-microbial resistance profiles of the Salmonella isolates.Methods: Sixty commercial RMBD samples were collected in the Okayama and Osaka Prefectures, Japan, between December 2016 and March 2017. The obtained Salmonella isolates were serotyped, their anti-microbial resistance patterns were determined, and the anti-microbial-resistant isolates were screened for the presence of resistance genes by polymerase chain reaction.Results: Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica was detected in seven of the 60 RMBD samples. Among them, five isolates were identified as S. Infantis (n = 3), S. Typhimurium (n = 1) and S. Schwarzengrund (n = 1), while the serotypes of two isolates were unable to be identified. All isolates were susceptible to ampicillin, cefazolin, cefotaxime and gentamycin. Two isolates were resistant to more than one anti-microbial agent; one of the S. Infantis isolates was resistant to streptomycin, kanamycin, tetracycline and trimethoprim, while the S. Typhimurium isolate was resistant to nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol. The S. Schwarzengrund isolate was resistant to tetracycline. Additionally, the S. Typhimurium isolate harboured the anti-microbial resistance gene gyrA with a mutation corresponding to Ser-83→Phe amino acid substitution. Conclusion:The study findings suggest that RMBDs for dogs marketed in Japan can be a potential source of Salmonella infection for dogs and humans including infections caused by quinolone-resistant isolates.
