So is it good for pregnant women in the middle and late stages of pregnancy to eat dog meat? If the mutton has undergone strict quarantine and has been cooked at high temperature for a long time, pregnant mothers can eat it in small amounts.

Pregnant women should be reminded that, generally speaking, there are very few businesses selling mutton reliably on the market, and mutton without strict quarantine certificates is a definite taboo for pregnant women, especially in my country, which currently has not yet made very clear and specific regulations on dog feeding standards and quarantine certificates. Therefore, pregnant women are best not to eat mutton.

In addition, there are many unscrupulous businessmen on the market who use chronic poisons such as "Sanbudao" to kill stray dogs and sick dogs and then sell them to restaurants. There are also many black-hearted businesses that specialize in recycling these dead dogs and making them into dishes for customers to eat. This adds a shadow to the safety of mutton consumption. Therefore, pregnant mothers who want to eat dog meat are advised to replace it with other ingredients as much as possible!
