Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Just after a bit of advice really, is it ok to feed dogs RAW chicken with the bones in? I've always been told not to give raw chicken and especially never with bones in (cooked or raw) as they can splinter inside the dog?? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,894 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Eating chickens are only about 2 month old at slaughter size and their bones are quite soft. Boiled are meant to be ok too but I feed raw. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beast 1,884 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 how can bones splinter inside a dog? cooked bones can splinter while the dog is chewing them, but once they are inside they just get digested. raw chicken bones don't splinter and are perfectly safe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Like I say, I've obviously been mis-informed. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,174 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I was always led to believe that bones become much harder once cooked, making them more indigestible, and therefore more likely to perforate the stomach or intestines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MATTI 34 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I've fed raw chicken carcass' wings & legs for 15yrs, to terriers, lurchers & bulldogs & never had any problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
