Hi all,
I'm getting as much as info possible before I start feeding barf.
Now my question is when people say they feed raw chicken wings do they mean they feed it straight out the fridge with the uncooked chicken on as well
thanks
Sharon

absolutely!  :-)  cooked bones should never be given to dogs and the whole point of feeding raw is not to cook any of the meat either. Some dogs may not appreciate cold chicken straight out of the fridge (mine doesn't care about the temp) and some will quite happily eat frozen (gotta watch out for those ice cream headaches tho!). I gave my pup some frozen wings when she was teething, but the majority of the time her meat just comes straight out of the fridge. Watch out with wings tho if you've got a larger dog. Trin started off swallowing them whole. Although she had no ill effects, I started either bashing the wings a bit or feeding her something larger that she had to chew. Now she's mainly got the hang of chewing first, but she will still swallow the odd wing. :rolleyes:

Good luck  :-)

OOPS
At christmas I fed them both a cooked turkey leg each I think the turkey was too rich cause they both had the runs.

Lofty,

Hope I am wrong but I hope you didn't feed the cooked bone also.

NEVER EVER feed cooked bones to a dog. The whole thing is 100% raw.

Cooked bone hardens and splinters and could kill a dog.

And guys please note it is not just large breeds that can swallow Chicken Wings whole one of my Chinese Cresteds does this sometimes and the first time i nearly had a heart attack,And i sat by the phone for the next few hours. But he was just fine.

wont frozen chicken bones give the runssssssss

No, why should they?

OOh frozen meat and bones go through mine like a does of salts. Wish I could feed frozen for the times I forget to get them out of the freezer! 

thought that the coldness might upset tum.

A couple of mine have at one time or the other nicked meat that was defrosting, once it was 2.500kg bag of pork could have murdered her!!! But in the warmer weather I`ve give it them semi defosted when I`ve forgotten to take it out & they`ve had no probs :)

My older one stole a 'straight out of the freezer' chicken kiev once - he must have swallowed it whole as it had gone by the time that I walked to the front door and back :D

Working sleddogs in the Arctic etc are invariably fed frozen food - it's too cold for anything else!

No ...frozen is fine.
Crested queen...mine used to swallow whole then regurgitate and eat it a 2nd time but chew it!

I always heat up the bones out of the fridge in their baggy in a bowl of hot water. Cant see stone cold bones straight out of the fridge being to appetising or too good for their tums :(

Theres no way around it,you should never give cooked bones,they can be deadly to dogs.

I give teething pups frozen chicken wings :)

ALWAYS RAW!!!! never cooked.
Mine LOVE frozen bones...staright from the freezer in the summer...doggy ice lollys!

Takes them longer to eat too :)

Unfortunately yes I did feed the cooked bones.
I done a web search on cooked bones and I seen some horrific pictures of xray's of dogs with blockages in there small intestines and splinters in there stomachs.
So my dogs have been really lucky I don't no what I wonld of done if anything happened to them and it was my fault.

Never mind...you know for the future

It has beena fair time since Xmas you are off the hook :-)

Get a book on the diet first don't jump right in.

The ultimate diet is a good book will see if I can find a link, it is cheap and easy to follow.
