Hello, my dog just ate about half a kilogram of raw meat that I was thawing on the counter for dinner. Do I need to go to a vet, or is there any precautions I need to do at home?

Hello. There should be no medical problems with the raw meat, although Leia may not be interested in eating for a while. It is also possible that she could throw this up as it is a rather large amount to eat in one sitting. Otherwise, she should be just fine. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
