My breeder said raw meat. Is it safe for my Cane Corso puppy?

Question

Hello! I require advice when it comes to feeding my new cane corso puppy, 10 weeks old, 10.5 kg weight. The breeder told me to feed him raw ground up meat but in that mix I found small bones that could perforate the stomach. I would like to buy meat and ground it but I need to know which meat is best and if I should cook it or not. Thank you in advance! Pet's info: Dog | Cane Corso | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 12 days old | 24 lbs

Good on your for noticing bones in the meat! You are absolutely correct they could perforate the stomach and intestines. I personally never recommend feeding puppies or dogs a raw food diet. There is too much of a risk of E coli and salmonella poisoning from it to both the dog and the humans making the diet. In addition, a raw meat diet will not provide Tyson with all the nutrients he needs to grow properly. It is very difficult to have a home cooked diet that provides everything he needs. As a puppy, he needs larger amounts of calories, protein, and calcium than adult dogs to grow. Tyson should be fed a high quality puppy formulated food, such as Royal Canin or Hills Science diet. If you really do want to give him a home diet, then make it cooked, and I will provide some links to website that give proper and correct recipes for home cooked meals that hopefully will give him all the nutrients he needs: https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com
