I've been told repeatedly that chicken bones are a no-no and that chocolate is toxic to dogs. But I've fed both to my dogs over the years with no problem. The dog I have now has been with me for almost four years now, and he gets all the chicken bones he wants and sometimes a hersey bar to boot. Silly wives tales are hard to die I guess.....Ps. His favorites are KingDons cupcakes and chips ahoy cookies !!

I've heard the chicken bone thing over and over.

Never even phased my mutt, he goes right thru them.

The only thing I'm a bit cautious about is sometimes when you get pork chops, they can have some razor sharp bones. I just break off the point and let him have at em.

Raw chicken bones will not hurt a dog. Its not the chocolate its the caffein in it. If no caffein then no problem. Cooked chicken bones are not digestible. A splintered leg bone can pierce a gut and kill your dog. These are FACTS.

chicken bones are hollow and can get caught in their throats. Neighbor's lab died when granddaughter feed dog a piece of chicken. Bones also got caught on roof of his mouth.
