For those who feed their dogs a RAW/BARF diet: Has any one ever fed their dog an ox or cow heart as a whole meal?
We bought our 6 month female labrador her meals for the week today, and thought we’d try her with ox heart. That will be it for organs for another week now, she may get a chicken liver but no more.
How do your dogs cope with eating heart? We gave her 1/3 (about 250gms) of it, froze the rest and she’ll get another 1/3 in a week.

If Holly had it her way all she would eat is heart.
I cut it up (well depending on the kritter it came from), freeze it, and then bring it down when ever I need it.
First couples times she puked it back up but we just started raw a couple weeks ago. She looks great already.
I do not do a raw diet, I cook all meats for my dog
but he loves beef heart, which he gets twice a week
with some ground vegetables
Heart is considered a muscle meat
while organs meats are liver and kidney
Meat’s neat.
Mouse ears to elephants tail-all meat.
Heart is MUSCLE.
Recently I fed our two Shih Tzu’s raw ox heart for a week. Both ended up with very dark (almost black) droppings. There were no adverse effects to their health (they wolfed the heart down every time) but it did seem to make their droppings a bit softer than usual. I think the dark coloring must be the intense “blood-red” of the heart meat.
