Raw chicken wings and puppies

She eats kibble and tins. We gave her a raw chicken wing tonight which she loved. How many would you feed a 4 month old cockerpoo?

Raw chicken wings are fine, my dog has been raw fed since she was a puppy. She enjoyed duck necks as well when she was older.

Then read the below, It's not my language @Madvixen. Also interesting that you're suddenly so focussed on the accuracy of language when you describe raw feeding at totally safe (it's been linked with at least one human death in the UK) and say that dogs shedding pathogenic bacteria is 'bollocks' (when the science clearly shows otherwise). You also clearly don't understand the risks of raw feeding if you think handwashing prevents AMR pathogens and environmental shedding.

You turn up on these threads proclaiming your opinion as if it's fact and have never produced a shred of evidence to support it.

I say it's a public health risk because that's what the evidence shows, and no it cannot be entirely mitigated by practising goof hand hygiene. Dogs fed raw are more likely to generate antibiotic resistant pathogens for example - this impacts on the global burden of AMR as these pathogens are shed into the environment and become become more common.

the feeding of raw meat to dogs was a risk factor associated with the carriage of E. coli resistant to antibiotics

such diets may also act as a vehicle for transmission of antibiotic resistance with associated potential animal and public health risks, particularly for those at higher risk e.g. the young, elderly or immune-suppressed.

dogs fed a single salmonellae contaminated commercial and previously frozen raw-meat meal shed the bacteria in their faeces for up to 11 days,

dogs fed diets containing raw-meat were more likely to carry Salmonella species and antibiotic resistant E. coli compared to the control group (cooked diets), including E. coli resistant to multiple types of antibiotics, including those critically important to human health, such as the 3rd generation cephalosporins
