[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 350807, member: 1991"] As has been pointed out, dogs in the wild eat raw met, they don't have access to microwave ovens or barbecues. Cooked meat is OK for dogs, but not cooked bones, especially cooked bird bones. These tend to splinter and can get stuck in a dog's craw and cause serious problems. But raw bones are great. This includes raw bird bones - we can buy chicken wings or chicken necks to feed to dogs. Chewing them keeps the dog's teeth clean. We also feed our dogs on raw kangaroo meat. Roo bones are especially good for dogs to chew on. Or a big beef bone. Where raw meat is a danger, is where you have diseases in your country which can be contracted/spread by dogs eating raw meat. For example on an Aussie sheep station, dogs have to be kept away from eating any dead sheep lying around, it could have hydatids. So where farm dogs have access to dead sheep, they have to be regularly wormed. Hydatids tapeworms are no problem for the dog. But a human getting a hydatids cyst - it can be life-threatening. If in doubt, check with your local Dept of Agriculture. Marg [/QUOTE]
