I looked it up once because I had a wild hog hind quarter I didn’t want to cook. Apparently, the dog has an enzyme in it’s stomach that humans don’t have (anymore?) that allows it to process raw and even slightly rotten meat. Kind of like a buzzard I guess.

So yes, from what I have read and learned, raw meat is ok for a dog.

You were saying ...

It's gotta be okay, because of what I've seen our dogs eat over the years... LOL...

Hope I haven’t left anyone out. Thank you all for your suggestions.

I can’t eat all of it in the next 12 months, which is about the longest meat for people should be frozen, and I certainly don’t want it to be wasted, so the dog will get some of it.

i guess our dogs are weird... they would not eat even cooked chicken gizzards and livers that were mixed into their dog food... they ate all of the dog food and left the gizzards and livers at the bottom of the bowl... i knew they wouldn't eat it, but a relative of ours, who was cooking in our kitchen, insisted they would like it... she couldn't believe it when she saw what was left in their dog bowls... btw--these are border collies...
