I have no way to getting whole prey for Bailey right now, so i give him pretty much whatever organs i can get a couple times a week. The main ones he eats are Beef/veal/pig/chicken hearts, beef/pig kindey, and beef/pig/chicken liver. When he gets a whole chicken/cornish game hen he gets all the organs that come in it. I dont know where to get whole prey localy for him, and ordering off rodentpro for rabbits is soooo expencive.

Organs for dogs would be the same as for other carnivores. Liver, lungs, spleen, etc. Heart is not an organ. It's a muscle meat, like a thigh.

The rule that should always be applied no matter what animal you are feeding is "If it doesn't secrete, feed it as meat".. Liver and kidney are big ones around my house. -~Ketlin

With dogs at least 10% of the diet should consist of true organ meat-so heart and gizzards are out (But are great muscle meats!). The way most raw feeders do it is they go about 50% of the organ meat as liver and the rest as things like tripe, kidney, lungs, & brains if you are cool with that.
