Can you give puppies raw beef liver?

Answer 1

Feeding your dog a diet of raw meat can seem complicated at first - there is much more to it than handing your dog a chunk of meat each day. Dogs get their nutrients from organs and bone as well as the standard muscle meat, and it is incredibly important to do the research to get the ratios of bone, organ and meat correct to ensure your dog has a completely balanced diet.

Generally, the ratio for a raw fed dog is: 80:10:10 - which is approx 70-80% muscle meat (this can include heart, tripe and oily fish), 10-20% bone (within some of that meat), 10% offal (half of this should be liver and half other offal such as kidney, spleen etc).

This, of course, can be tweaked to suit the dog. Extra bits such as eggs or even the odd bit of vegetables can be added, but this isn't a requirement.

For a raw-fed dog, you only need to feed approx 2-3% of their adult body weight per day, or their ideal adult body weight if they are overweight. For a puppy or a very active dog, 3% would probably suit better.

As with any sort of food, it is important to purchase the meat from a good source. Organic meat is usually safer as the animals are often kept in sanitary conditions and are generally healthier. Always practice safe food handling techniques when handling ANY raw meat - whether it is for you or your pet. It might be advisable to take extra care with very young, very old or animals with compromised immune systems. Freezing the meat for a few days prior to feeding helps kill off any parasite that may be present in the meat - although if the meat is from a good source, this risk should be minimal.
