I was wondering if feeding raw prok to dogs is ok? is it healthy?
I feed the exact same as these are economical cuts of meat, especially the picnic hams and butt. Inexpensive muscle meat is not easy to find, and pork is the cheapest.Originally Posted By: Luca_stlMine eat raw pork regularly (as in several times a week) with no issues. It's a cheap red meat source--pork heart, pork butt, pork picnic, and pork neckbones are the items I buy most.

Quoteseudorabies virus is still found in the feral swine of the United States and serves as a potential means for reintroduction. Pork producers must be diligent to prevent contact between feral and commercial swine. The USDA is presently re-evaluating their PRV surveillance plans in order to focus more on the feral/commercial interface, now that the virus is eradicated from commercial production.
What cut of pork are you using?Originally Posted By: 3K9MomHey Patti,Originally Posted By: Peet

I still cook pork intended for my kids. I just toss it on a baking dish, smother it with cinnamon and garlic powder (ooh, antioxidants) and cloves (zinc) which are all good for kids with allergies. (350 oven, covered dish, about 20 minutes) Then I serve it warm. (with applesauce for vitamin C) OMG! They LOVE me on pork days.![]()
BTW, I serve Dh the same thing, but I put his back in for another 10 minutes. And I drizzle a bit of brown sugar on his.![]()
