Is it safe to feed our 1 yo Goldendoodle raw organ meat as a birthday treat?

We want to treat our good boy Deigo to some tasty treats for his first birthday. It was recommended to us by an acquaintance (who has two dogs, non-goldendoodles) to feed them some raw animal organs as a special treat. He’s not on a raw diet at the moment, but we’ve fed him freeze-dried animal organs as meal toppers, not sure if those relate in any way.

Our question, is it safe to feed our 1 yo Goldendoodle raw animal organs? If so, which organ(s) is recommended, and from which animal? We were told chicken can make Goldendoodles itchy. Or is it recommended that the animal organs be cooked before feeding it to the puppy, since he’s not already in a raw diet? If so, which method of cooking is best?

FYI he really enjoys the venison Carna4. We also heard from another Goldendoodle parent that they love lamb meat. As well as a fish, but I don’t remember which specific type of fish.

Celebrated our good boy Deigo’s 1st burdee this past Labor Day with his big cousin Zuko. Had some birthday treats from Healthy Spot to celebrate the milestone!

Can’t believe it’s already been a whole year. Looking forward to making many memories and more puppy adventures.

Our good boy Deigo loves feeling the wind in his face. Does your doodle do the same thing?

Our goldendoodle, Deigo, turns 1 year old next month. Wondering how to make it special for him.

He enjoys being outside, so we plan to bring him to a dog beach. So that he can run and play in the sand and with other dogs there. We do this often, so we may find a different dog beach that we haven’t been to yet.

I’ve also heard about giving them a special meal. We really wanna do this. Dog cake seems obvious. A new pet shop just opened up near us that makes pet treats/cakes in house. But it was suggested to me by another dog parent (Nihon Ken) to provide them with some animal organs that we don’t usually give him. Ngl, I forgot if he said they were raw or freeze dried.

We use freeze dried chicken hearts as toppers. We’ve given him freeze dried duck feet, pork snouts, turkey necks, chicken necks, and duck heads as chew treats. He loves the necks.

Also thinking about a pet photoshoot, to properly document this milestone for him. Open to recommendations for photographers who specialize with pets in SoCal (SD).

Open to suggestions!
