About FILET

**FILET** in the context of pets typically refers to a cut of meat, such as a beef or fish fillet, which is boneless and often considered tender. These can be found in most grocery stores or butcher shops. When it comes to cats and dogs, plain, cooked fillets (without seasoning, bones, or harmful additives) are generally safe and can be a nutritious treat. However, raw fillets pose a risk of bacterial contamination (e.g., salmonella or E. coli) and should be avoided. Additionally, certain seasonings, like garlic and onion, are toxic to both cats and dogs and must not be included. Always consult a veterinarian before introducing new foods to your pet’s diet.
