Just a thought, i met this girl who taught me a few things about getting roadkill, as we were both searching for the nearby doe that had been struck by a car. We found the poor creature dead down the side of an embankment not too far from where it was hit. Long story short, as we traded parts of the doe, this skilled young lady (abt. 23 yrs old) butchered the doe like a professional, knowing exactly how and where to cut the body parts... Go figure. We got to talking bout our pets and i asked her if i could give some to my dogs, is it safe, and she replied, "yes, just as long as you freeze the meat first for at least 3 weeks or was it 3 months.. im not sure, so you might want to do a lil due diligence for yourself, but she said that the freezing of the meat is required to kill of some bacteria or what have you not, in order to keep the dogs from getting worms or some other parasites... That could be the case for only wild game and not store bought, idk. But i would do a lil more reaearch before i gave them anything. My dogs ended up eating all of the deer that i brought home within hours of me bringing it home. I tried skinning the deer for its hyde and by the next morning my dogs had gotten into the area where i was keeping the doe and ate every last piece |of her.
