Is it better to feed my puppy raw meat and bones or dry puppy kibble?
Puppies and dogs need more than meat scraps. Muscle meat alone lacks some nutrients that a dog needs to be healthy. They are omnivoires and need other foods too. Even true carnivores eat organs and other tissue, not just muscle meat. Wolves eat grasses and berries regularly too. Also feeding your dog bones can be dangerous too. Bones can break teeth and choke your dog if you are not careful. Raw meat comes with the risk of parasites and possible contamination. Many people argue that wild dogs eat it so it is best for your house dog. What they aren’t considering is that wild populations suffer from a high mortality rate which includes death from food borne illness and parasites from their diet. I am not advocating to not feed raw meat, but personally I don’t risk it with my pets. I do feed it regularly to wild animals in my care, but they are also given dewormer monthly and on several occasions an animal has suffered from a intestinal issue from bacteria in the raw food.
