What happens if a young Golden Retriever eats raw meat?
Expert Answer
A young Golden Retriever eating raw meat can lead to several health problems. First, parasite infection: some raw meat may carry tapeworms, roundworms, toxoplasma, and flukes, and heavy infestation seriously harms the dog.
Second, bacterial infection: raw meat may contain large numbers of bacteria such as salmonella and E. coli, which pose risks to both pets and people. Third, obesity: dogs are omnivores, and too much meat affects other nutrients, causing excess weight, imbalance, and weaker immunity.
Fourth, poor digestion: Golden puppies have limited digestive ability, and too much meat can cause indigestion with diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
