Raw hamburger meat is horrible die dogs. You need to purchase properly prepared raw food for dogs if you want to give them raw. There needs to be an appropriate balance of meat, organs and bones. Believe it or not, raw food for dogs is a much higher quality than the raw food available for humans. The reason being, we cook the raw food we buy for ourselves.

Please educate yourself about proper raw feeding. You can definitely DIY, but you have to do it properly and with the right food grade. Better to just buy already done and recommended by the AAFCO

Yes, raw hamburger meat can be unhealthy for dogs. Raw meat may contain harmful bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, which can cause gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration in dogs. These bacteria can also be transmitted to humans who come into contact with the meat, potentially leading to serious illness. Additionally, a diet that consists solely of raw meat can lead to nutritional imbalances and deficiencies in dogs. Cooking the meat thoroughly can kill harmful bacteria and make it safer for consumption, but it is recommended to consult with a veterinarian before making any significant changes to a dog's diet.

Raw hamburger meat can be harmful to dogs and should be avoided. Raw meat, including raw hamburger, can contain bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, which can cause food poisoning in dogs and potentially be life-threatening. In addition, raw hamburger may contain harmful parasites, such as worms, that can infect dogs and cause serious health problems.

While some dog owners choose to feed their pets a raw food diet, it is important to understand the risks associated with this type of feeding and to take appropriate steps to reduce the risk of food poisoning and other health problems. If you're interested in feeding your dog a raw food diet, it is best to consult with a veterinarian who is knowledgeable in this area to ensure that your pet receives a balanced and safe diet.
