I have a rack of pork ribs that I bought for us, makes a change from the dogs I know But I forgot about them and they have gone past their sell by date.................even if I open them and they smell to me..........would they be ok to give the girls..................dont want a case of northern bum down sounth!!!!

They probably smell all the better to the dogs!

I'd feed meat over the use by date, provided it's not green or walking yet. Do your dogs have extra sensitive tummies, or are they allright with most kinds of food?

To be honest they are both ganets.....................will eat anything!!!!! So I suppose the answer is if they turn up their noses dont give it them, if they dive in let them get on with it

I know several raw feeders that serve theredogs what they call 'meat with a tang' so i expect they will be fine to give the girls.

I have given a few times Fipps pork ribs which had a smell and a gluey film on them, I wouldn't have used for myself anymore, but she ate it with gusto and no ill effect.

Daisy likes all her meat to be 'aged' except chicken which has to be super fresh!!!

If it can be left lying around in the garden for a day or two as well, even better!
