Do you recommend warming up the meat portion of a dog’s food when feeding raw?

Full Question:
Hello Cindy,

Thanks to you and the information I have attained from your web site and the books you recommend, my two female G.S.D.s have never been happier or healthier. We are all very happy. I wanted to know if and or how you would recommend warming up the meat portions of their food. I don't freeze much so it is mostly just out of the fridge. I have been soaking the chicken quarters etc. in a ziplock bag in warm water and then I hear about plastics leeching out. We could go crazy. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Jeff

I don’t warm up my dogs’ food. I usually either serve it room temp (set it out for a while) or cold from the fridge. My dogs have no issue with it. I’ve heard some folks say that if their dog eats cold food they will vomit but that has not been my experience.

You are right, we can make ourselves crazy by worrying about all this stuff but just do what works. If you worry about plastic then take the chicken out of the bag and just drop it in the warm water. The dogs won’t mind if it’s a little waterlogged.
