Can Dogs Eat Turkey Breast?

Have you ever heard of such a question? And if you have not, which is the case for most dog owners, then we will be happy to provide an answer – No, they cannot. It’s quite understandable; we can see that many people would like their dogs to eat turkey breast and praise them for it with every piece.

However, there are some reasons why you should not let your dog do this:

1- no matter how good this may sound for your dog who is very hungry and wants to eat; eating poultry meat isn’t healthy or safe for them at all;

2- even though it’s not as bad as red meat (which is harmful), still it has a lot of fat content in it;

3- the turkey grouse, unlike other poultry types, has low protein (17.04%) and high fat (11.21%) content in it; this is something that does not go well with dogs’ stomachs;

4- some pieces of dark meat may contain bones that can harm your dog if swallowed;

5- turkey contains a very high amount of salt in it compared to other meats so avoid feeding them with this on an empty stomach or they might get sick.

All these factors contribute to our conclusion that keeping dogs away from eating turkey breast will keep them away from experiencing unpleasant gastric problems. And since you love your dog, you don’t want this for him, do you? The best thing to do is consult your vet and get his/her opinion on this problem.

Will cooked turkey hurt my dog?

It is best to avoid giving dogs cooked turkey and instead feed them raw. According to Dog Food Project, cooking turkey bones will make them brittle which can cause your dog to chew or swallow the bones and get sick. Also, if you notice that your dog has an upset stomach after eating turkey, this might be a signal from their body telling you not to feed them cooked turkey again.

You should always keep an eye on your dog when you give it anything new to eat or drink that is not part of its normal diet. If the dog has allergic reactions after eating something, you might want to consult your canine healthcare professional about what is best for your dog’s particular situation.
