I am curious as to what bones other people give their dogs. The last time I got a bone from the butcher, my dog crunched it into pieces, swallowed them and was sick later. It was some kind of beef bone. Haven't dared try it again. This hadn't happened previously, but I don't often give my dog any bones, and especially not cooked ones.

I have never kept dogs.. but was curious... So googled.


It is important to point out that there are some misconceptions where chicken bones are concerned.


First let us start by saying that cooked chicken bones are an absolute no-no for dogs as they will splinter and could cause injuries.

However, raw chicken bones are soft and therefore quite safe for dogs.


Consider dogs in the wild and how likely they might be to hunt for, kill and eat an entire bird.


Do you think these dogs are eating something that they really should not?


More than likely they know more about what is good for them than we do.

I would not give them to dogs.. But stick with commercial pet food.. and the occasional left overs treat.

Sorry maxxi.

I googled it too & times seem to have changed.

Years ago giving any chicken bones to dogs was bad due to the risk of choking and/ or the chance of bacteria problems.

Since the raw food diet came into fashion, it appears to be an ok thing to do.

Proves I'm still living in the dark ages!

Azalea,

We follow the BARF diet (biologically appropriate raw food, sometimes know as bones and raw food) (lots of info available for research) although I like to think of giving my dog a non processed diet. So she has meat, bones and offal (80%, 10%, 10%). I don't give weight bearing bones (apart from the occasional marrow bone) but mainly chicken/ turkey bones, lamb ribs and these really help to keep her teeth clean. The husband says the dog has a better diet than us and he's probably right. I like to think it keeps her in tip top condition and this is really important to me as she's a trainee search and rescue dog.

I can also recommend a raw feeding support group on Facebook who are balancing and not too 'preachy' to help you if you have any questions.

    • But we’re not in Canada so why celebrate their recent election? Wasn’t their winner our Bank of England director up until his defection to his homeland of Canada? He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.
    • I expect that they consider it should be a free choice what to do with your waste, and that segregating it is a waste of money, no doubt it's all a woke conspiracy.  I expect that others are more up to speed with Reform policies. I should have asked Nigel when I was drinking with him.  Well within the vicinity of him in Westminster pubs a couple of times.
    • Let's see how a Leader and party that thrive on division and demonising elements of our society actually do when they have to deliver. Let's hope that the two main parties don't consider that the best way to fight Reform is to become like then. Even less reason to visit the small town where I grew up.  Not a cause for any joy or celebration. Happy to celebrate the Canadian result.
    • The Reform Party has surely taken the Conservatives and Labour by surprise? I’ve been a Conservative voter since the age of 18 and voted for them in the General Election last Summer. Sadly Labour were elected but their policies on so many issues have been their downfall as they did not stick to them.
