The best way to do this would be just to feed a raw chicken thigh or breast with the skin removed (it can upset tummies in the beginning of raw feeding). You may need to cut ribbons/slits in the meat so they can get a hold of it in the beginning. A chicken breast can take up to 2 days to eat depending on the size of your dog. A chicken thigh at my house is usually eaten in 1 day (I have a pup a little under 5 pounds). You just refrigerate after each meal then bring it out again.

You may be a bit shocked at first at how loud the crunching is, but it is good for the teeth. The tearing of the meat is also good for the teeth. The important part would be raw chicken thighs not cooked as cooked bones splinter but raw ones do not.

I hope this helps!
