Dogs can eat raw deer rib bones, but it is not advised for several reasons.
First, depending on the size of the dog, shards of bone from cracking the rib bones into pieces can get lodged in the dog's digestive tract and cause lacerations or obstructions. These can very quickly become life-threatening - unfortunately I have had to put a small dog down because a pork chop bone became lodged in her esophagus and couldn't be removed.
Second, in the United States deer are the major wildlife reservoir for tuberculosis. If the rib bones are from a deer that had TB, it could infect the dog resulting in extensive veterinary bills with no guarantee of survival.
Third, if a dog is not used to the richness of raw meat, it could cause significant digestive upset (vomiting, diarrhea) and in rare cases this can lead to pancreatitis, a potentially lethal inflammation of the pancreas in which the digestive enzymes from the pancreas leak out into the abdomen instead of being contained in the digestive tract.
if you go to the vet they will tell you
Dogs are different than humans, they dont get sick if they eat raw food. Raw food is much better for them than cooked food. If they are fed raw food they will live longer with a better coat. Just be careful what raw food you give them. Some good examples: *raw Chicken necks *raw chicken *raw soup bone (if too bony best for a snack or treat) Some bad examples: *Mince *Bacon *Ham *Puppy role Try not feed them cooked food one night or raw the next. Choose what is best for you and stick with it, Preferebly raw. Also as a filler so its not so exspensive add a bit of advance puppy plus biscuits.
Raw chicken can carry the deadly salmonella & other things such as parasites, etc. Your puppy should be fed a good brand name of puppy food that has all the vitamins and minerals needed. Don't feed it a cheap generic version of puppy food. Stay away from the raw meats. Just use the dry puppy food only. Feed it twice a day.
Most types of meat i think, I fed mine raw beef.
No, it would cause stomach pains to the puppy
Nope. The bone structure of a chicken is different to other animals. If you were to feed it to your dog the bone of the chicken would splinter.
You can feed both. Since he is just 5 weeks, he will need some raw diet as well as milk. A variety of food is recommended, particularly breed specific puppy chow.
Raw to the Bone was created in 1985.
Raw Feed was created in 2006.
Preferably by it's mother... but failing that, I'd say the same way you'd care for a pup. Bottle feed it puppy milk if it's still young, if it's old enough to eat solids, just feed it puppy food or raw meat.
Dogs eat raw meat but not chicken, rabbit or fish. Also dogs will not eat chicken (undead) or raw beef (undead). Warning: if you have your pet out when you lose your membership, you will lose your puppy!
Rather than giving your dog a bone from meat you ate, I would go to the store and buy a raw hide bone. These are safer for your dogs, as other bones can crack and splinter easily, potentially harming your animal. Under no circumstances should you give your dog a chicken bone. They can break these easily and they can cause serious damage!
