Well, don’t do it! Vet TJ Dunn has put together some powerful information and visual evidence that shows bones can hurt our canine pals a lot worse than you might think - regardless of what type of animal or raw versus cooked.
My recommendation… get something like a Kong, stuff it with some cheese or maybe some peanut butter. If you can freeze it, even better. This should keep your dogs busy for hours while you have a great Thanksgiving. See you Friday.

I live in a 3rd world country where the dog food industry and vets have no business. We can hardly afford to have food on our table, so what we feed our pets (cats, dogs…) are left over food. I grew up feeding our dogs chicken bone, turkey bone, and all kinds of bone and so does the rest of the country. Our dogs live healthy long lives up to 15 years. We never heard of such claim as splinters etc…
Out of all the dogs I took care of and many of my friends that owns a dog all ate chicken bones and they’re all fine. This symptoms or problems with feeding your dog a bone only seems to occur in countries where the dog food and the vet industries reign.
