RAW Chicken Breasts

My two love chicken thighs! As long as you feed organs along with the chicken meat, you can definatly comprise their entire diet of raw chicken.

I disagree, I think variety is important in a raw diet - both body parts and types of animals. I personally think you need at least four different animal sources, and add in whatever you can get. Different meats are rich in different nutrients that are important for good health.

Thanks. I'm gonna google Raw diets and see what I can find out. Is ground beef good for dogs?

Personally, I don't feed any raw ground meat, and here's my reasoning....

Most bacteria that is going to be in meat will be on its surface, where a thorough washing with cool water will get rid of it. However, with ground meat, any bacteria that was on the surface of the meat when it went into the grinder is now all throughout the meat.

I realize that freezing the meat is probably going to kill most of the bad stuff, but I'm a little paranoid when it comes to ground meat. Just my two cents.

I just started feeding my pups and rescue pups a mixture of Raw ground beef, chicken breast, carrots, peas, and some dog food (to wean them off the dog food). My vet said it is the best for them. He also said there are more chamber in a dogs stomach then in a humans. Where food goes through us quickly, our body can not "cook" off the toxins. In a dog, they keep the food in their bellies longer so their body's stomach acids "cook" off the toxins. He said "Dogs and Cats don't cook their rabbits and deer in the wild". My dogs love it and I have seen no problems yet. I even give my kits and rescue kits a little of the raw beef and chicken once a day. They are in heaven when they eat it!! Hope this helps Lute.

This is precisely right- and very well said Reachoutrescue!

Might I suggest looking at the numerous threads in dog health related to this?

No need to start the argument over again.
