Is it safe to feed my dog cooked or raw pig liver and heart?

Processed food like canned liver should be avoided in dogs. It can have a high salt content and be very fatty which can cause gastrointestinal problems. If you want to give your dog a special treat, try something like freshly prepared meat, like chicken, in small amounts to prevent and stomach upset. I hope this helps.

According to the USDA, beef liver needs to reach an internal temperature of 160 degree Fahrenheit. Anything below is considered undercooked and is at risk of pathogens.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is to some extent a matter of opinion. However, it is well known the possible risks of eating raw meat just like it is possible health risk to a human for the same exact reasons like the development of an infection from ingesting raw protein. Also, it does not offer any benefit over cooked food. I personally do not recommend raw diets. Good luck!

No, I would not recommend doing this. Too much raw liver (and cooked liver) can be toxic for dogs in that they will get too much Vitamin A, leading to bone deformity, excessive bone growth on the elbows and spine, weight loss, and anorexia. Your dog's dry food will give him all the nutrients he needs.

Bones are not very digestible and organs with the membrane capsule on them are difficult to digest also. I recommend chopping up the bones and organs into small pieces to make them more digestible. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Harley.
