| Just gave Millie a raw chicken wing... and she loved it! But I was so worried the whole time. I was afraid she was going to choke. I normally feed her Arden Grange puppy (one of the better kibble brands in the UK), but I would like her to have a bit of raw as well, for her teeth, breath etc. Are your furbabies ok on the chicken wings? Have you had any scares? She is still licking the towel she ate it from, and licking her lips. |

| I give my furballs raw chicken breast on Sundays but have nver been brave enough to give them something with bones in it. I know it is safe, but I'm still leary. Plus they'd run all over the house with it. Yuck. |

| I was giving mine raw chicken legs and they had no problem. I read that wings don't have enough meat on them. I would take off all of the skin then cut the bone down the middle with a knife. They loved it. Betty |

And to top it all off, she just got out the back door when I was going out to lock the car, and ran straight out of the drive way. I got her, but it really shook me up. We cant put a gate on as the entrance is sloped, and we cant even go out the back door to the car or bins without woorying she is going to slip out. | |

| I read that you shouldnt give weight bearing bones, such as legs. I suppose different people have different thoughts on it. I also read you shouldnt cut the bone or its more likely to splinter. But I estimated she should get about 40grams of meat per day, and one wing is over 50 grams, so I think I will have to cut it up too. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | After reading about raw, I gave Joey a chicken neck, but I was nervous the whole time, and I thought what about all those Yorkie kisses, will I get salmonella? So that was his first and last raw.

| No bones for Isabel...I think it was my grandmother who put the fear of God in me when I little about dogs and chicken bones, "they splinter" she'd say. It's tempting though even at Thanksgiving w/ turkey or a big 'ole ham bone. I know she'd love it. JMO

| The bones do splinter IF they are cooked - they must be raw.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Yes, that's the secret, something that I didn't know about until YT. Bchgirl, Joey didn't have any upset tummy, but he pretty much can eat anything without a problem with the runs.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Reggie has the sensitive tummy...so I'm not sure whether I want to try this or not.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Dogs aren't affected by salmonella and other bacteria the way humans are, there is lots of discussion on the benefits of a raw diet in the health and diet forums. Yorkie Health & Diet - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Yes, you may want to read up on it more before you decide. Most the dogs I read about were large breeds with bigger teeth and mouths, the more I read the more I decided this wasn't for me.
