Can you feed dogs chicken bones? My dumb brother-in-law just gave his dog a big plate of chicken bones from the hot wings we ate tonight. I Know it's said not to feed a dog chicken bones but since I couldn't stop him and I know he's going to feed him more bones in the future I wanted to know will this hurt the dog? I really don't know what to do because I really love the dog and I don't want to see him hurt.
Best Answer I realize that I will be put down for publicly admitting this but my family has always fed our dogs chicken bones and they were always extremely healthy, long lived animals. I currently have an 8 year of dog that I have had since she was a puppy and I will give her an entire chicken carcass to eat. Her teeth are so good that the vets still misinterpret her as being around three years old. I think that a dog raised on that kind of diet gets used to eating them and doesn't wolf them down, but chews them properly.
