Dogs when undomesticated and years ago, lived in packs, hunted, killed and ate their prey. There are still packs of wild dogs today, doing much the same thing. Humans also eat raw beef. That's what they call beef tartar in high class restaurants.

Is it OK for Fido to eat raw beef? It probably wouldn't kill him, but domesticated dogs have gotten used to dry dog food or canned dog food, which is usually cooked. Most likely, it would make ol' Fido, "sicker than a dog". He wouldn't have the digestive system tuned in to raw meat and you'd probably get it back a few minutes later, if you catch my drift.

Unless I lived on a cattle farm where he might get an occasional piece of raw beef every few days as a regular part of his diet, I'd stay away from giving him any. Then again, there's always the question of other items in the beef, or living in the beef which could be harmful to the animal. (Especially raw pork. Trichinosis, for example.)

Technically, yes, if accustomed to it, dogs eat and have eaten raw meats for eons. And if he occasionally snags a bit o' raw hamburger from the cookout when you're not looking, it may or may not make him sick. Depends on the dog, his size and normal diet. That's why when you change the brand or style of dog food, say canned from dry, etc., it's always best to wean them over by mixing in a little of the new with the old and increasing the ratio until they're completely changed over to the new.

Bacon does not contain tapeworms. It is unlikely that your dog will get worms if it eats raw bacon.
