Re: raw meat????????

Raw meat is good for your dog, I've been feeding my dogs raw meat for the last 10 years. If it isn't already frozen I'd freeze it first, then defrost it before you feed it.

Re: raw meat????????

why you feeding raw meat? whats wrong with normal dog food? If she doesnt like it and it makes her sick- give her something else...

Re: raw meat????????

feeding raw is fine but u do need to have a good idea what u r doing.
To give a dog that breed/age a meal high in protien as raw mince is can cause growing pains.
Its fine as a one off but get a decent diet and try and stick to it.
chopping and changing is not only bad for the guts but can also make them fussy so it can end up a real battle when it comes to feeding time.
