Dogs can eat pig lungs. Pig lungs contain protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, etc., which are good for dogs’ health. However, because pig lungs are filtering systems that are prone to the presence of heavy metals, long-term consumption may cause burden on the dog's body. It is generally recommended to feed it about once a week.
Pig lungs contain a lot of protein. It is generally recommended that owners cook them in plain water before feeding them. This is mainly because the lungs may contain parasites or bacteria such as lungworm, and eating them raw may cause infection in dogs. Parasites or germs can cause disease. In addition, do not add any flavorings, otherwise it may burden the dog's gastrointestinal and kidneys.
Meat foods that dogs cannot eat:
1. Animal fat, fried food, leftover soup: Excess fat can cause pancreatitis.
2. Sharp bones that can penetrate the gastrointestinal tract: For example, some splinterable bones, such as chicken bones, can penetrate into the dog’s throat or cut the dog’s mouth, esophagus, stomach or intestinal. Therefore, if you want to feed bones, cook them in a pressure cooker. Bone marrow is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, and copper. Chewing large bones can help remove tartar.
3. Raw or cooked liver: A small amount of liver is good for dogs, but excessive amounts may cause problems. Because the liver contains a large amount of vitamin A, it can cause vitamin A poisoning.
4. Raw meat and poultry: The dog’s immune system cannot adapt to artificially raised poultry and meat. The most common types of salmonella and Bacillus are very dangerous to dogs. And often feeding raw meat will trigger the dog's primitive instinct, thereby promoting aggression.
5. Pork: The fat globules in pork are larger than other meats and may block the dog’s capillaries. Avoid pork products, especially bacon, which contains sodium nitrate.
