I purchased raw chicken thighs and legs and just noticed the expiration date was 12/10/10 (today is 12/12/10). Is it safe to feed this?
Full Question:
Hi Cindy,I have been feeding my 11 month old Doberman pup a raw diet for several months and it has been the best change we could have made for her. She loves this diet. Regarding chicken? I purchased raw chicken thighs and legs and just noticed the expiration date was 12/10/10 (today is 12/12/10). The smell if off a bit an wanted to know if it is not safe to feed this expired meat to our dog. Thanks so much for your guidance.
Kind regards,
Joan
Cindy's Answer:
Usually 2 days over the expiration date isn’t going to matter to a healthy dog that is accustomed to a raw diet. Every dog is different though, and if you have any doubts it may be best to discard it.
Here is a Q & A section on raw feeding.
If you don’t already have these books, I highly recommend them. These are the 2 best books for learning about the raw diet Raw Dog Food and Natural Nutrition for Dogs & Cats. We give both these books to our puppy customers and rarely have questions about the diet.
I hope this helps.
