🚨 Wild Coast Raw Pet food Linked to Bird Flu Infection in Cats 🚨
The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) and Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) are urging pet owners to be cautious about raw pet food after indoor cats in Multnomah County, Oregon became seriously ill from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI or H5N1).
Upon investigation, it was discovered that the cats had all consumed the same brand of raw pet food before showing symptoms. Lab tests detected the presence of HPAI in the cats and the food.
As a result, WSDA has issued a Public Health Notice for certain lots of Wild Coast Raw pet food. If you have Wild Coast Raw products at home, please check the lot numbers and discontinue use immediately. The lots are #22660 Best By 12/2025 and #22664 Best By 12/2025, both the Boneless Free Range Chicken formula.
If your pet has consumed the products and is showing any of these symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately:
• Fever
• Lethargy
• Low appetite
• Inflamed eyes or discharge
• Difficulty breathing
• Tremors, seizures, or blindness
It's important to handle raw pet food with care. If you’ve been exposed to contaminated food or surfaces, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly. Monitor for symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, or eye redness, and contact your healthcare provider if you feel unwell.
