I would give it a blast in the micro as it's chicken, poultry can have some bad nasties in it.

I feed my lot on raw tripe twice a week and they never had the runs from it in fact if they're a bit loose it stiffens it up (if you get my drift)

No way, microwaving it is really dangerous, changes the construction of the meat and damages the live enzymes. Completely raw. I have a question though, why with rice and veg?

My dogs are fully RAW fed and have raw chicken all the time.

The point of a raw diet is that, well, the meat is raw! To microwave it is to cook it.

Why feed mince? It's much better for the dog if you get a whole chicken and chop it into portion size pieces and toss some to him/her. Crunching up those lovelu bones will be of much better benifit to the teeth and give your dog a meal that can really be enjoyed.

(Just for the record; I wouldn't bother with the rice or veggies either.)

Funny enough my boys hated chicken mince but love chicken portions! Happily eat minced tripe/lamb etc. but minced chicken YUK!

Chicken is one of the major favourites here, sometimes I put a whole chicken down on the floor and let them have a bit of a go at it before I chop it up, they love that

I hope the veggies are raw too else there is no point..

If the dog is eating it raw then feed it raw..

So everyone should eat chicken raw we're all living dangerously by using a micro , I don't think so, I fed the boys raw chicken mince two years ago and it went through them like cr@p through a goose.

No... No one said that.. either feed it completely raw or completely cooked..

Mine get raw chicken whether wings, carcass or minced every couple of days and it goes through them fine..
