Is it bad for dogs to eat raw meat?

Question

My husband feels it is ok to give our dogs a couple pieces of raw beef or venison on occasions and I worry it is not good for them.

good question gussie and no I do not think game meat gets inspected prior to butchering it.

Answer 1

uncured fresh game such as rabbits, squirrels and deer no, as they carry parasites during certain parts of the year.

fresh beef and chicken is fine fresh pork is fine after put into the freezer for about 78 hours.

I feed mine the raw diet and mine are completely healthy and have no health issues what so ever. I have done this for 10 years and my dogs do not go to the vet for allergies, sickness and etc. I give my own shots except rabies and this is the only time they go to the vet other than dewormings. Raw meat does not cause worms as most people will say if you prepare pork the right way and do not give wild rabbits, squirrels or deer meat.

Don't feed him kibble, or any carbohydrates for the next 8 hours. If the steaks were raw, he should be just fine -- might have a bit of diarrhea since he's not used to eating meat, but he won't get sick ;) Dogs' digestive systems are designed to handle raw meat and bones, even rotting carcasses (and all the bacteria they harbor). At worst, he'll have an upset stomach. Adding to what Nekkid said -- raw meat that's not "fresh" won't necessarily harm the dog. It would be dangerous for humans, but not for dogs. I have given my dogs raw chicken before that had been sitting in the fridge for too long, and it smelled absolutely horrid. But the dogs loved it -- and they were just fine.

Answer 3

For thousands of years dogs ate raw meat until someone came up with the money making idea of selling people food to feed their dogs. Most high quality dog foods are good for dogs but the regular grocery store brands are often loaded with grains, corn being the highest and a lot of dogs are allergic to corn. The BARF diet is a alternative to processed dog food. It consists of raw meats, veggies and fruits and is very good for dogs. People who give their dogs this diet state that their dogs have shinier coats, less allergies and in general better health and live longer than dogs given processed dog food.

Dog training are excellent and very helpful to build you a stronger relationship with your dog. Read more https://tinyurl.im/3epzv

After I started training my dog, he became very attached to me and loves to stay by side as long as he can. But just going to them won't help. You have to practice what they teach you outside of the class and you need to keep up with it at least every now and then after the class ends otherwise they'll just go back to previous habits. This course is a really good place to go for dog obedience classes. It get's your dog around other people and dogs to socialize while getting the training you need. As for electric collars, I would say to not get one. In my experience, they're only a negative effect on your dog. I mean of course you're going to need to correct your dog, but being positive and encouraging your dog works a lot faster and easier.

Every dog is different, so unless you have a german shepherd or a really smart dog, it might take a while to train her. You might get frustrated with her, but go easy. She's still a puppy and has a lot of energy. A backyard or somewhere to run will help her get rid of a lot of energy that might cause her to misbehave from boredom.

Answer 6

Raw meat is fine to give to your dog. It is a natural food for them.

Answer 7

It's best that dogs are kept on a diet of "brown guk", but dogs are omnivores by nature so raw meat will not hurt them as long as the meat does not contain any parasites.

Answer 8

Yes, it's fine for dogs to have raw meat. Thier digestive tracts are different thatn humans.

Answer 9

No it is not bad for your dogs

Down here in Australia .. they have butchers that deal just with pet meats ...in the supermarkets they sell mince just for dogs .. my two little Yankee girls are the happiest and healthiest they have ever been ...they have their dry food available and they get their fresh bones and meat once or twice a week ...
