Sheridan Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Grump's just elongated his neck to eat some raw chicken breast pieces ready for tonight's stirfry. There's a mixture of info as to whether this is good or bad. Some sources panic and say salmonella; others it's the basis of raw feeding. DOLer's opinions? What should I look out for?

Gretel Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 He'll be fine. Mine eat raw chicken in one form or another nearly every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Raw chicken on the bone is a regular event here with no issues, if he is unused to the bone content he may get a tad constipated, that is if they were bone in, but really he should have no problems. If they were boneless, I probably wouldn't be concerned at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) I wouldn't worry, raw chicken makes up the majority of my dog's diet. IMO you really don't need to worry about salmonella, if you bought the meat from a proper butcher or supermarket and it was relatively fresh and had been refrigerated before you bought it out.

Sheridan Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 My niece (the culprit) says that it was fresh chicken from the supermarket; she'd had it in the freezer. Some of it was half frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be worried Supermarkets just like butchers have to abide by strict health and safety processes when dealing with raw meat. I've fed raw chicken for years even before feeding a raw diet and have never had problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaC Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Mort eats frozen chicken frames for dinner 6 nights a week - so i wouldn't worry about it He will also scoff the poor cat's chicken neck if he finds it before I can put it back up in his bowl ....

Gayle. Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Raw chicken pieces make up the basis of most BARF and prey model diets. They are good for dogs, not bad. Grumps might be trying to tell you something......he wants a change of diet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavandra Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Dogs are designed to eat raw meat & bones, they are the same as wild dogs, they have not "evolved"....wild dogs do not cook their meat first ! The only cases of salmonella poisoning in dogs that I have ever heard of was from eating well known brand commercial canned dog foods!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grump is a delicate old man and he does very well on his mostly fish diet; it's just that he thinks I starve him (as I listen to him chow down on a bambi ear ...).

Sheridan Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks all. Grumps was good all night. It was Mini, who had none of the chicken, who vomited this morning. Comedy of errors. Mini vomited, so I washed her bedding. Hose pipe flipped out of the sink, flooded the hallway and bedroom carpet and into the dining room underneath the gas heater and fridge. Have just spent an hour and a half on the phone to the insurance company and am waiting on the carpet cleaner guy to bring heaters to try to dry out the carpet. Will have to get someone to check the heater and the ducted aircon controls next to the heater. I blame global warming for the whole thing.

Chocolab Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Im just starting my girl on chicken frames. Does anyone know where I can buy them in bulk in Newcastle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 My vet says salmonella can be a serious concern in pups below 4 months, but an adult dog should have an immune system that can handle even the smelliest of meats. Chicken frames are the main ingredient of my dogs' diets. Never a problem (except when I forget to thaw them out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
