Raw Chicken Breast?? Just reading over a breeders site and she said she gives her yorkies raw chicken breast to help keep their teeth clean. Does anyone else do this? Isn't this bad to give a dog raw meat? This is exactly what was written: YORKIES HAVE BAD TEETH: they have a tendency towards bad teeth. Yorkies have bad teeth when they are older if he was fed poorly for his entire life. If you are going to feed your yorkie soft food or table food, he will have bad teeth. Many manufacturers’ offer food for small dogs in tiny pellets. Although this is somewhat necessary when they are little babies, it becomes less so as the pups grows. Feed them a good size kibble so they will have something substantial to chew on. I also give my yorkies a raw chicken breast once a week. They love it and it helps to clean their teeth. Raw meat does not hurt animals as it does us. |
Good question...... I didn't think dogs were suppose to have raw meat either... |
Raw diet is becoming more accepted as a good feeding method for dogs. The key is in proper balance of foods for total nutrition. You can research this easily on the internet...google BARF (bones and raw food) for more info. |
I'm homecooking (on a recommendation from our Vet) and have been doing lot's of reading on the subject and everything I have read has said no raw meat. Thank goodness - I think it's icky and I'm germ paranoid to boot! |
Never, ever raw chicken. Salmonella is always a risk. If you wouldn't eat chicken raw, don't give it to your dogs. |
I have read that raw meat (not chicken though) is good for them but I will never do it anyway. |
People that feed their dogs a raw diet feed the chicken raw bones and all to the dog. I would never do it. |
This is an informative site on feeding dogs raw meat. http://www.barfworld.com/main.shtml This must be something new and if it was so dangerous I don't think too many people would be doing it. |
Its healthy alot of people feed this way. Its supposed to be better for them too then the dog food we feed them. |
I don't think there is anything wrong with feeding them raw meet. I also don't agree with "if you wouldn't eat it, neither should they". I would never feed a dog chicken bones becuase of splinters, but I would feed him boneless chicken. I know of some dogs that are on the raw diet and are thriving! I guess others may not. I really don't think occasionally or frequently giving a dog raw meat will harm him/her. jmo |
There many member including myself feeding their dogs a raw diet using this company. I believe Bil-Jac is another frozen raw diet also. http://www.naturesvariety.com/ |
Can you say BIRD FLU!!!! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! |
hmmmm I guess you can learn something new every day. |
GROSS! It's called BARF for a reason...from what I understand, they get all stinky. :eek: |
I am a certified food service manager. Can you say anal when it comes to food because that's me. I have been through so many food illness related courses in my time that I couldn't bring myself to offer that sort of diet in my house with out driving myself crazy with the bleach bucket.I can only cringe to imagine where traces of that raw chicken may end up. Eww...the thought just sort of grosses me out. |
