Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited.

| Hi guys,
Luka got his first chicken thigh today, I spoke to him like he was human before giving it to him, told him to take his time and not gobble it up in a hurry, well... he started slow but once he got into it all i heard was a crack then another and it was all gone!!
How much bone is there in a thigh and how long should they need to work on it before swallowing for it to be safe? I've been giving him big beef bones to work on and practice his chomping and on occasion i find small pieces in his stool, if he eats too many small pieces he just throws it back up!
I want to slowly increase the raw he gets along with organs etc but i'm worried about hurting him with the bones. I think ultimately, he will still be on a partial raw diet. |

| I do not do raw diet for my dogs but are you suppose to give them the bone? I have always been told never give dogs chicken bones. |

| I think the thigh may be too small if he's swallowing it that quickly. Have you tried holding it and letting him gnaw on it so he takes his time? I did that with Mickey at first because he used to suck down legs like nobody's business. Rodeo too. It also may be a bit small for him. I feed mostly chicken quarters to my dogs as bone-in meats. If that may be too big you can always cut off the leg (there is a sweet spot which allows for almost butter like cutting) and feed the larger portion. You can also try feeding it when it's just a tad bit frozen so it requires them to chew it a bit more and they are less likely to suck it down. Edit// Raw non weight bearing bones are fine Raw chicken bones are very soft and won't splinter and cause injury to the dogs digestive tract. _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?!

| Yeh, I suspected they may be too small! I will invest in some chicken quarters and see how he gets on with that! Thanks Kristina.
Deb, I think any bones, when cooked, can splinter. So it is best to feed them raw! With big beef bones etc, I hate the smell that they leave on his fur so I boil water in a kettle and just pour it over and leave them in it for 5 minutes to eliminate most of the odour.

| Holding the raw chicken in our hand, only exposing a small amount also worked for us. Every once in a while, we'd get a bit of a nip on accident, but taught our dogs to slow down and just munch on it.
Also, after a couple weeks of raw every day, they understood it was their meal and not a once-in-a-while treat, so they nautrally slowed down with it. |
