Ask the APCC: Talking Turkey
I heard that raw turkey could be toxic to dogs. Is this true?
—Calleen G.
The feeding of raw turkey or other uncooked meat could potentially cause problems for dogs, Calleen, especially if the meat is contaminated with harmful parasites or bacteria, such as certain strains of E. coli or Salmonella. If you would like to add additional meat or other protein to your dog's diet, we suggest talking with your regular veterinarian in order to determine the most appropriate nutritional program for your pet.
More new questions:
- Our 100 pound mixed-breed dog eats Nandina berries. Are these poisonous, as well as the foliage?
- Are air purifiers with ozone producers safe to use around pets such as my hamster and parakeet?
- I have heard that homemade play dough could make dogs ill. Is this true?
