We along with the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) do not recommend that you feed your dog or cat a raw meat-based diet (RMBD). RMBDs have a high risk of contamination with bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens. If bones are included in the food, there is a risk of constipation, diarrhea, dental fractures, and gastrointestinal obstructions. The dog or cat could also develop hyperthyroidism from excessive ingestion of thyroid tissue. For more information, please visit wsava.org for more information.
