@chris-iv, you have an interesting point. I know that in the USA, feeding antibiotics to animals is a huge problem. The FDA is struggling with this issue but so far they are only asking for the food industry to adhere to voluntary standards. I have noticed that Tyson Foods, a major food company in the US, has pledged that their chickens will be 100% antibiotic free by the end of 2017. We'll see. I've been feeding our cat (and the cat before him) a little bit of raw chicken every day. But he also gets kibble and wet cat food.
