I just want you and others out there to know this. Please ask your vet and if he knows "why" turkey isn't good for your pet, and I'm sure he does, then you'll find that he'll tell you the same thing as I just did.
So for me, I give my dogs turkey. I just watch how it's prepared. You see turkey meat in dog food all the time w/ no concerns, wonder why this is? It's because it's how it's prepared. |
You are so right. There is turkey in dog food. I searched several web pages and some say it is toxic, and others don't. Here is one blurb I found:
Turkey has a compound in it that isn't good for dogs, cooked or uncooked. Especially dark meat. Chicken is fine though.
Raisins and grapes are also harmful, they can shut down a dog's liver or kidneys if they are eaten in large amounts or small amounts over time.
So, I am totally confused, and need to check further.
I apologize if I posted anything that is not true.
