Is it good to feed my dog meat only

Before feeding your dog meat only, you should definitely consider some important facts.
It would be inadequate for a dog to eat meat alone. A diet consisting of only meat would have a lack of calcium. When fat is trimmed off of the meat, it will also have a deficiency of energy. These two things are the most dramatic deficiencies for dogs.

However, meat is also one of the most vital sources of protein to feed to your dogs. Beef and horse meat are used every year to create tons of commercial dog foods.

Meat, should only be fed as an additive to commercial dog food, This can amount to up to 10% of the weight in the mixture. To prevent the commercial food from being unbalanced or inadequate, do not add in any greater amounts. Meat should consist of at least 25 percent of the total weight of the diet when used as the sole source of protein in a home-made ration. However, you should always remember that home-made foods should not consist of more than 75% weight as meat.

Except for pork, it is safe to feed any other meat to a dog cooked or raw. It is usually more nourishing to feed a dog raw food. The heat from cooking the meat destroys the vitamins in the food. Fat is also dissipated from the meat during cooking, so, it should always be poured back into the meat, or it will be lost as a valuable energy source. The main reasoning for feeding your dog cooked meat, would be if it is pork.

It is unimportant, which animal meat, meat comes from as far as protein is concerned. As far as nutrition is concerned, most all protein from different kinds of animals is about the same. Besides, the fact that pork should always be cooked before feeding it to a dog, pork liver is found to be one of the most nutritious livers available to dogs.
