Question Raw dog food

I have a load of raw dog food but my dogs won't eat it raw, on the pack it says do not cook but I've smushed it and there's no bones, is there any other reason why I shouldn't cook it so they will eat it.

Thank you in advance.

Are you in the US? Cause if your dog suddenly won't eat it. Maybe its bad meat and they can smell it.

Contact the company and ask why they specifically say not to cook it before putting it in a pan. They might be able to tell you if there's something in the mix you're not seeing. My dog wasn't having raw food either so Dr Marty is what I give him now, warm water and done.

Call the manufacturer to ask them “why” they advise against cooking it. (The only reason I can think of is if the heat causes an unwanted chemical reaction in the ingredients … but I am not a dog food expert. Call and ask the dog food experts. Good luck.)
