I don't think turkey should be given to our babies...I'm sure others on here will let you know but, I THINK someone had posted about feeding turkey (and parts) before and it wasn't advised. Have a great day! Brenda

| They are fine to feed. Organs should make up only a small part of the diet though so don't overfeed them. It would be better to feed them raw than boiled though.

| email i recieved. Also, please do not give your dog or cat more than a small taste of turkey meat (ideally, meat from an organically and humanely raised turkey), because a meal-size portion could bring on acute pancreatitis or a uremic crisis. Refrigerate leftovers to avoid bacterial proliferation that could cause serious and potentially fatal food poisoning to family members, including pets. |
