As a pet store owner and fellow animal lover, I know that the health and safety of your pets are a top priority. Recently, there have been concerns about avian influenza (HPAI), also known as bird flu. Let’s break it down together so you can stay informed and confident in caring for your feathered, furry, or scaly family members.

What Is Avian Influenza?
Avian influenza is a viral infection primarily spread through direct contact with infected birds, their droppings, or contaminated environments. While it’s possible for the virus to spread to humans or other animals, these cases are rare, especially when proper precautions are taken.

Can It Spread Through Food?
The good news is that the risk of contracting avian influenza through food—like poultry meat or eggs—is extremely low. Proper sourcing and food handling further reduce this risk. Viruses, unlike bacteria, cannot grow or multiply in food, and freezing food can reduce contamination levels even further.
