Well I found this information as well as some other things that say its good to give it to them.

RAW CHICKEN

necks, wings etc. – it is safe and very inexpensive. Raw chicken bones are harmless; it is when you cook them that they become sharp and dangerous. Salmonella and campylobacter jejuni are of no consequence to a healthy dog. You can feed the whole chicken including ribs if you prefer – any part which sells for a good price, always raw.

RAW MEAT

call a local butcher that does ranch slaughtering and you can get a better price. Buy frozen meat, or fresh - cheap grade hamburger is fine. The best raw meat to feed is lamb/sheep meat – which we use. Dogs do not need to get any meat ground up – cut in pieces is better or attached to the bone is best. Ground up internal organs with muscle meat is far better than just muscle meat.

RAW LIVER

give 2-3 pieces 3 times a week, or any other organ meat; heart, kidney or tripe. Dogs must have organ meat weekly – lack of taurine – an amino acid abundant in hearts will cause dogs to seizure.

RAW EGG YOLK

One or more daily. Boiled or scrambled eggs are fine too. Offer raw egg yolk to the dogs you are not feeding raw liver or other raw organ meats. Be sure you use egg yolks from chickens fed free range - it will say so on the box. I highly recommend one egg daily to all dogs. Give 7 soft boiled eggs (boil 4 minutes) and nothing else is necessary on days you are very busy.

SARDINES IN SOY OIL

Give one can once or twice weekly, instead of raw meat/liver. Dogs love it - it’s very, very good for your dog and a nice change now and then.

RAW VEGETABLES

raw grated carrots daily, or broccoli stems, or any vegetables you like or are in season like cauliflower, brussel sprouts, corn (never on the cob), avocados, pumpkin, squash, peas, beans, etc. Crush raw vegetables in your Cuisinart or blender – best is pulp from your juicer – you drink the juice – mix pulp in dog’s food. Fruits are excellent, apples, pears etc, it’s ok to steam vegetables also. Then crunch and feed to dog.
