Can I feed dalmatians with bones?

Question

Especially chicken bones, which is very brittle?

Will it wound their stomachs, etc.?
Is it safe?

Answer 1

NEVER BUT NEVER FEED ANY COOKED BONES,

cooked bones splinter more easily than raw. chicken bones will splinter regardless of cooked or raw, and it depends on the bones given. If you give the neck or the back you are fine, even wing tips are fine, but not leg bones or breast bones.

I feed the raw diet and my dogs do get whole chickens, BUT< they have been use to this all their life and i do not give new dogs i rescue whole chickens, they get raw chicken without the bones.
Bones can not only get caught in their intestines if they splinter, but can get caught in their throats also. Your best bet is stay away from chicken bones and feed raw beef bones.

Answer 2

If you are feeding something like the BARF diet where you feed raw chicken backs and necks that is fine and your dogs can tolerate those bones.
NEVER feed cooked chicken bones as they can splinter and kill a dog.
A dog can safely eat raw chicken and will not be harmed by salmonella or anything else. Their systems are set up to handle that type of stuff.
Many people feed a bones and raw food diet. It is somewhat complicated to make sure they get all the proper nutrition. But there are many great web sites on how and what to feed.

Answer 3

One word, no! Deffinately not, there's a risk of choking, if the bones brake at an angle, or have a sharp part, it can harm their insides. The only bones you should feed them is stuff like cow bones, go to a butcher and ask for bones, or get some dog treat ones. If you go to a butcher, boil the bones until it's fully cooked, dogs love them. Be sure to take it away once there small enough that you cant see it when they're chewing or there's sharp parts, because they can choke, we've learnt that the hard way.

Answer 4

The only safe bones to give any dog or cat are raw bones, never cooked or dried out. Raw bones will mash up when they chew them, cooked bones with shatter into tiny splinters that can pierce the lining of the stomach like a tiny tooth pick. The treatment for this is an operation and it's very expensive, otherwise the animal dies a very painful slow death

Answer 5

I know many breeders and people who work and show their dogs that feed RAW chicken, with bones.

Never feed a cooked bone, that's what makes them brittle.

Try Deer legs too!

But always supervise your dog.. some of my dogs can handle certain bones that others cant.

Answer 6

Not a good idea to feed pasta to any dog espically as a meal - every now and then is ok a piece here& there or table scraps ( yes the bad word) but the dog gets nothing nutrionally out of it - why do they feedthem it ?? was its a vet reccomened diet ? if so I'd love to chat withtthat vet & see what planet they came from. Also dry dog food is alot healthier for dogs as it helps their teeth - wet food damages pets teeth - so they may wish to look into that too..

Answer 7

Common Sense is required here. If your dog is used to eating bones, then I would feel comfortable with him eating chicken bones. I have always allowed my dogs to eat bones from puppy up to old age and have never had a problem (they are carnivores). However, I am always supervising their behavior - if they are "gulping" or "panic eating" then I take the bone from them. Then they learn to slow down.
If he's never had chicken before, start with neck, carcass, and legs - bigger parts.

Answer 8

Best thing: NEVER feed dogs bones, any bone can splinter and get stuck in their throats, pierce their stomachs or intestines.

Answer 9

you should NEVER feed a dog chicken bones, it will puncture their stomach.
