Can I feed raw sausages to dogs???

[FestiveSpirit]

I have been given some home produced sausages by my landlords as a thank you, but I have had to defrost them as I have filled the freezer with dog food There are 8 so far too many for me to eat in one go - can the dogs have the rest raw tomorrow?

Working in a Youth Hostel I come home after most breakfast shifts with a load of raw and/or cooked sausages that would have otherwise been chucked, Daxy eats the lot and isn't dead yet.

Ahhh but she is one of those strange hardy type breeds

Thanks BC, I shall hand them out at supper time tomorrow

I believed (perhaps rightly or wrongly) that pork should be frozen for over 3 weeks to kill off the germs. (Trichinosis) being the premier worry. I never trust pork so personally I'd cook them for MY dogs.

Thats what my old doggy book tells me

That can't eat dog food.

If in any doubt cook them and use little pieces for bribery purposes, there's nowt quite as good for recall as a bit of warm sausage.

Hmmmm, little Amy could do with learning what proper recall is She finds horse muck much more interesting than me

WARM horse muck would probably be Evie's ideal recall treat, maybe I should stuff my pockets with some. Little dear gulped a load down at a show today when I wasn't looking, to the disgust of some spectators.

Pork for human consumption goes through very strict inspection processes for this very reason and will be safe. That's one of the primary reason why I feed meat that comes from animals for human consumption that way my dogs are safe. Mine often get sausages if I have nothing defrosted or I'm away from home!
