Kirislin Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I've heard that ox heart is salty. Does anyone know if it be OK to give one meal of it to my puppy today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I feed heart once or twice a week (depends on how expensive it is at the butcher) mixed with the dogs' regular food. I maybe wouldn't make a full meal out of it because it is very rich and may give the dog the runs. I have never heard that it is salty. When I was a child our dogs often had a full meal of heart and were none the worse for it, but they were used to it. It is more a matter of not upsetting the digestion with a lot of rich food, so maybe feed 1/3 at a time with regular food .... how much you feed depends on the dog, by the way. If it is a pom pup there is no way I'd be giving it 1/3 heart!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) she's an Italian greyhound, I was only going to slice off a long piece so she could chew it, but I've tested her on a tiny piece and I dont think she likes it anyway. scratch that, she's eating it now for lunch. :) Edited October 22, 2013 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I've just blanched some and am now drying it in the oven. Once it's dried I thought I might chop it into tiny bits as training treats. Even if she doesn't like it I know the whippets will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
