Serve in Moderation: Adjust portions based on your dog’s size and regular meal portions to prevent overfeeding.
Go Raw or Lightly Steamed: Leave the neck and organs uncooked for raw feeders. For dogs new to raw food, lightly steam or bake the ingredients.
Hold the Seasoning: Avoid harmful spices, onions, or added salt that could upset your dog’s stomach.
Watch for Allergies: If your pup has food sensitivities, substitute with safe ingredients that suit their diet.
