Do you think dogs should not eat raw chicken wings ?
A lot of people think you should not give chicken bones to dogs. What exactly do you think dogs ate in the wild ? They are designed to eat whatever they can catch, including chickens. Dogs are just domesticated wolves; are you people seriously telling me wolves can't eat a raw chicken ? Splintering of bones is not a problem for raw chicken. The problem is COOKED chicken, and cooked chop bones etc anything cooked. (Fried onion is especially bad, so be careful when you barbecue)The heat involved changes the chemical composition of the bones and makes it much harder for the dogs stomach acids to digest. Mostly you still don't have a problem because the acid is so strong, but you'll never have a problem with raw bones. Chicken wings are great for puppies, helps clean their teeth.
I feed my kennel raw chicken all of the time.
1. Dogs don't have the same digestive systems that human beings do. They are much more tolerant of bacteria. Dogs eat disgusting things all of the time without getting sick. Eating fresh, raw chicken shouldn't harm them a bit.
2. Most people who feed raw chicken are feeding stuff they buy in the store -- i.e. human-grade chicken that has been USDA inspected and gone through quality control inside the plant. This doesn't always ensure that the chicken is completely safe, but in this day and age it's pretty likely.
My dogs get raw wings, thighs, and meat on a weekly basis, especially in the winter when they are working in harness. I have not seen an issue with feeding raw chicken in 10+ years of feeding raw foods. As long as the chicken is raw, the bones are like cartilage, easily ground up and digested by the dog.
