How to Give Dogs Chicken Bones

Controversy exists over whether it is safe to feed dogs chicken bones. One school of thought strongly advises against feeding chicken bones to dogs under any circumstances; the belief is that the bones might splinter and damage the dog's digestive tract. Proponents of a raw food diet for dogs claim that chicken bones are safe.

Instructions

    • 1

      Feed your dog raw chicken, bones and all. Bones provide calcium to dogs on a raw-food diet.

    • 2

      Provide raw chicken necks as a treat for dogs. Raw chicken necks are less likely to splinter than bones.

    • 3

      Offer your dog chicken leg knuckles. Knuckle ends can be removed from the leg bones and served to dogs. Knuckles are cartilage and won't splinter.
