Y Wife Feeds Raw Ground Beef To Our Jack Russel Pup-is This Ok?
~ Yes it is ok. I would recommend that if your wife is not doing a full raw diet that she is also feeding your JRT a high quality kibble.

+All dog foods are not created equal. There is a huge difference in ingredients, quality of ingredients and company standards. When wondering what to get or comparing your current food it is best to do as much research as possible.
Your options are a raw diet, which is one of the greatest diets for dogs. To learn more go to www.barfworld.com. Raw really means nothing cooked; meat, bones and organs. This is not to be confused with allowing your dog to eat cooked bones, cooked bones are harmful, raw bones are not. This is the dog’s ancestral diet. If you think a dog should not be eating raw meat, go back and study wolves. Ask yourself what year was dog food made and then how long have dogs been around without our help of over processed dog food and gravy.
Another option is kibble and wet food. You can do both or just Kibble, but avoid doing just wet food. Feeding Kibble 2x a day 12 hours apart and wet food 2x a week in place of 1 feeding of equal calories is a good balance. DO NOT OVER Do WET FOOD. When you are looking for a healthy dog food it is important that not only the kibble be high quality but the wet food, treats and chews be high quality as well.
Foods to avoid: Pedigree, Beneful, Purina, Iams, Nutro, Alpo, Ol Roy, Mighty Dog, Ceser, Eukanuba, Science Diet, Purina, Royal Canin, Eagle Pack (not to be confused with Eagle Pack Holistic) and of course all grocery store brands of dog food!
These foods have low quality ingredients that can cause allergies, diabetes, bloat, overweight, oily skin, excessive and or runny stool and a myriad of other problems.
Most of these brands are owned by companies like Del Monte, Proctor and Gamble, Mars and Nestle. Do you really believe that a company like Proctor and Gamble who makes beauty products, household cleaning supplies, baby items,prescription drugs and many others is the best suited company to make quality products for dogs? 50% of Mars is pet food, 45% is unhealthy snacks like candy bars. Science Diet is promoted by vets who in return make a profit on every bag they sell. Hill’s is the largest employer of veterinarians outside of academia. They sponsor many pet nutrition related veterinary school programs and hold seminars and training sessions on the subject of pet nutrition for practicing veterinarians. So of course Hill’s is going to say they are the best, they are teaching the vets pet nutrition, they want to make a profit, not healthy cat and dog food. Does this sound like the best company to make dog food? All of these companies have one thing in common, they have the advertising to make you believe pictures of meat and veggies and healthy dogs running around on the commercials is what you will get. Knowing the truth about what is in these foods is devastating.
Quality dog foods: Innova, California Natural, EVO, Karma, Wellness, Wellness Core, Orijen, Canidae, Merricks, Artemis, Taste of the Wild, Nature’s Variety, Solid Gold-Barking at the Moon, Go!, Now! and Timberwolf.
Here are several websites to do your own research, which I highly suggest. A lot of questions here about dog’s health problems are a direct result of the food you are feeding. Read the ingredients label on the back, go to the website and see who owns the dog food, look up the ingredients and learn why it is used and what the pros and cons are. Changing to a healthy low grain, no grain dog food will relieve most of your dog aliments and give you a healthier and happier dog.

My opinion is that raw “ground” beef is not good for dogs. But to add to the many comments on raw food diets, if you choose to do this, make sure you are brushing your dogs teeth regularly, or give him hard bones (not rawhides) to chew on to fight plaque and tarter build up.
Perfectly okay. But your pup needs a balanced diet not just raw ground beef.
Good book to read is “How to grow your puppy with bones” by Dr. Ian Billinghurst. Also “Give your dog a bone” by the same guy. He is the guru of raw feeding. All mine are raised on raw.
I feed my dog cooked food. Everything that I eat, he will eat. It saves a lot of time and money. This website:http://www.petalia.com.au/Templates/Stor…
is good for finding out if you are harming your dog.
It’s not going to make him aggressive if that’s what you are thinking.. Personally I would cook it.. it gets rid of the hormones and antibiotics found in the meat today.. But raw isn’t going to kill him.
don’t know about puppies, there is a website about feeding your dogs raw food. I feed mine dry food along with cubes of beef.
Dogs in the wild eat raw food.
I wouldnt never feed any human food to my pet personally because it is not recommended. They will begin to not want dog food, and beg and watch you eat…which is annoying. Plus, our food is hard for thier bellies to digest. Raw should be a no no, just like us.
you should really stick to dog food especially if he is only a pup. even when he gets older he will find it hard to digest human food – sometimes the odd treat is ok
no ppl food can b deadly especially for ur little dog. it will stop him from wanting dog food and he can get sick. tell her to stop it. now.
No. Any meat you feed your dog should be cooked.
no
Be careful where you get your advice. Many of these replies are just opinion and not fact based.
