You're right that cooked chicken bones are very dangerous - they will splinter and have serious potential for harming your lil' one. But completely raw chicken bones, so long as your dog is a chewer instead of a gulper, can be very good for his dental health, and even possibly provide some great nutrition (depending on who you talk to).
We are in the process of experimenting with/researching/working toward a diet that I believe to be a better alternative to dry kibble... but all points in doggie diet are debatable honestly, due to a lack of solid scientific research, so it is a difficult bunch of research I have been diving into and trying to sort through. We are not by any stretch of the imagination finished with this whole food quest, but this was our first baby step into finding out how Nikko might handle food that is as similar as possible to the food his "ancestors" less than 100 years ago were probably eating. It is very interesting.
