Can raw food make my Pitbull puppy aggressive? Is it safe to feed?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

So I recently got a red nose Pitbull puppy and I want to introduce my puppy to raw meats in his food but I really am having a hard time making that decision with the doubt that it might make him aggressive to my other small chihuahuas or just in general when it comes to his food or life style some advice is very well needed but also if it is a good idea what kind of meats could I introduce to my puppy

Raw meat will not make Capone aggressive. Make sure to get him neutered at 6 months old and make sure he is well exercised and socialized early. These are the best things you can do to avoid aggression. Here is a helpful link: https://www.petcoach.co/article/socialization-of-your-puppy/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/dog-behavior-tips-for-social-situations/ I don't recommend to feed raw meat in general. There are many health concerns for both pets and people. If you do choose to feed raw, you must be aware of the health risks.
