Vanesa, who owns two dogs, revealed her pit bull's typical evening meal, sparking surprise among followers due to both its composition and price. The diet, known as RAW feeding, consists of uncooked meat, organs, and bones. While some dog owners advocate for this feeding style, citing improvements in their pets' health, international veterinary organizations tend to highlight potential risks more than benefits.
The specifics of Vanesa's dog's meal were not detailed, but the cost associated with such a specialized diet has become a point of discussion.

However, critics and veterinary experts often raise concerns about the risk of bacterial contamination, nutritional imbalances, and potential dangers from raw bones.

While acknowledging that some dogs may thrive on it under careful supervision, they emphasize the importance of proper preparation and sourcing to mitigate risks. The debate continues among pet owners and professionals regarding the long-term safety and efficacy of feeding dogs a raw food diet.
