Personally I wouldnt feed Pork.
I believe you are advised to freeze for at least 2 weeks prior to defrosting and feeding

I tend to avoid pork as it upsets Ozzies tummy. Chicken, lamb, beef and tripe is the main meats I give him, he does have turkey occasionally, but he isn't too fussed on it.

Yes, pork is absolutley fine no problems at all. In fact it was my Vet who encouraged me to feed my two pork when I was raw feeding.

I'm sure that Odin will enjoy his pork chops.

hi, i dont raw feed excusivley, i mix feed and i feed pork once a week (i try to do a different meat/fish every day depending on what we are having ourselves) and have no problems with it. storm loves the bones too. i havent had any tummy issues as yet or worm problems. she also loves the cooked crackling (which i know i am probably naughty feeding her) if its really crispy and i takes her ages (im putting that to why both ears correct and standing from about 12 weeks!) so im hoping its as good as a dental chew!!

i can say hand on heart its storms favourite meat! give it a try

tho i have to say i couldnt stomach thoose pigs heads, you guys much have a stronger constitution than me. yuk!!

Do you cook your Pork then?
As for (im putting that to why both ears correct and standing from about 12 weeks!) so im hoping its as good as a dental chew!!
Kaiser's ears were up at 9 weeks and he was fed on kibble and tripe sticks

I would check with Odin's Vet Hon if you are still unsure

no i dont cook storms pork but if shes having it that means we are too and if it happens to be a big joint or a leg and im roasting it i will make sure it has the crackling on before i buy it. none of us will eat the crackling so she does. if its chops etc i just feed hers raw and cook ours.
