jlaack could probably shed more light.
I am still waiting for my book, Raw Meaty Bones to arrive after learning of it in March, so I can get more meal suggestions. But, I have given my girls each a raw chicken quarter, skin removed, twice so far since reading about them on RDN in March. Fozzy was a natural tearing the chicken off the bone and then crunching and eating the bones. Greta, couldn't get the hang of tearing the chicken from the bone so I had to take it and cut as much as I could off, and then held the bone for her until she grabbed the middle, crunched down and chewed. Bones are a natural source of calcium. But, until my book arrives I probably won't give anymore though as my DH isn't comfortable with it. (I like having a book to refer to so I can get all the details and be as informed as possible, and also have more to show my husband)
So for now I will continue to follow the recipes I have been using from my book Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats.
Cooked bones are a problem because they can splinter. I did read a post somewhere that someones dog had a problem with the raw bones. I don't remember the circumstances. Always supervise no matter what it is. Before I knew better we gave our dogs rawhides, then one of my dogs choked on a piece and I had to dig it out of her mouth.
I hope I have not confused you, in know way want to misguide.
