Raw fish ?

[mitchm]

Thanks drz, fish and fishing is a staple in our house so I figured to give my pup a break from the chicken. We made a batch of burgers from ground up pike with the bones in. I ground up a variety vegetables, mixed that in with the ground up fish and made patties to go into the freezer.

Really enjoy feeding raw cause it makes me feel like I'm doing something for my pup.

I know freezing technically isn't raw any more but as Jack says it's still better than kibble.

Not sure I understand this. Freezing is raw, it might not be considered fresh - but it's still not cooked, so yes - it's raw. Also freezing foods for a few days will help eliminate some parasites.

Patt,

I think you missed what Jack was saying "Frozen" isn't raw. It is frozen, thawing frozen would then be raw.

Actually, this is not so.

Raw is the fresh, uncooked and unfrozen state of meat.

Technically-speaking, thawing-out previously-frozen meat is not feeding raw.

Go to any butcher: they will have RAW meat ... and they will also have "previously-frozen" meat ... they're not the same.

So, technically, most of us are feeding "previously-frozen" meats to our dogs, and are using the word "raw" for convenience.

Truly raw meat has never been cooked or frozen.
