carrinevie Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I thought chicken bones were not good for dogs because theysplinter!! Nope - thay can have everything - but it has to be raw - NOT cooked - if its cooked then the bones get softer and can splinter! I was a bit worried but they crunched it all up!

Mine would like that. I am trying to figure out what gets he tummy upset. We used cooked chicken for treats in puppy class and in conformation class and both times she had a bit of yucky poo. I don't know if it was the chicken or the excitement/stress of attending a new class with new people and new dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candboys Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 do you find feeding them the chicken carcass to be expensive? How is the cost compared to dry doggy food? Right now, we have switched to Eukanuba puppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrinevie Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The main book gives you the amont of RAW food you need for the size of dog - my frind has my copy at the moment - but think it should work out cheaper if you get stuff from butcher - off cuts and left overs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bess will wolf down anything that's put in front of her, it barely touches the sides. Rory's a bit more discerning and would probably just walk away....
