Can I feed my dog raw chicken?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Never feed your pet raw chicken from the grocery store. The bacteria associated with eating raw chicken can be harmful to both humans and dogs. While canine stomachs are typically more resistant to harmful bacteria than human digestive systems, raw poultry can be too much for them to handle nonetheless.


Can a dog get sick eating raw chicken?

YES! Dogs can get Salmonella infection from chickens and other animals carrying the bacteria, by exposure to contaminated excretions (mostly poop!) or by eating contaminated meat. Many pet owners have moved to a raw meat diet for their dogs, so how does this affect them?

Is it safe to feed raw chicken to puppies?

Remove the marrow before giving it to your puppy as it is very high in fat and can cause diarrhoea. Raw chicken necks and raw chicken wings are also good. Never feed cooked bones as these are likely to splinter. Surprisingly cooking a bone makes it less digestible for dogs.

How much raw chicken should I feed my dog?

One rule of thumb is to feed 2-4% of the pet's body weight. Smaller dogs will require a higher percentage of their body weight, while larger dogs will require a smaller percentage of their body weight. The daily portion should be split between morning and night.

Is raw or cooked chicken better for dogs?

Chicken is a great source of protein for dogs, and it's exactly the sort of food your dog would be eating in the wild. Some vets warn against raw chicken because of the risk of salmonella or other bacterial contamination. For that reason, cooked chicken is safer.
