Deliberate Acts of Kindness
We have an arrangement with a local restaurant that gets a lot of business.
The kitchen washes the leftovers and packages them up for us.
I boil up the the leftovers into a soup to supplement our dog food.
We never feed them the bones or residue - after one round, it is supposed to be thrown out.
Our housekeeper asked me if she could take the "trash" home to feed the homeless dogs in her ejido.
Well, yes.

A large bone to gnaw on is a must for dogs. Ask a vet. On some dogs an hour of gnawing is like a couple of martinis for a human.

I understand that all natural bones and not good for all dogs. I have been recommended Nylabones, man made stuff. Any feedback?

Dogs are dogs and have been genetically designed to chew, eat and digest bones if fact if bones were harmful we would not see so many stray and
homeless dogs on the street or perhaps this is testament to survival of the fittest.
I have never bought into the idea that you should not feed your dogs bones including chicken. In over 50yrs of having a variety of breeds larger and
small never has there been any problems iwth bones. They can't wait for that tasty chicken bone to be tossed their way.
Now if your perro is to delicado to do bones I submit to you that it is not a dog but rather a man made mutant ha ha..

Dogs should only be given raw bones-not chicken though. Cooking a bone hardens the bone and makes it splinter. We give our lab marrow bones and when
the marrow is gone we fill it with banana and freeze it. She loves it, but being a lab she'll eat anything but lemons.

Chicken bones aren't good for any animals, they're soft and they splinter.

My dog would love one of your banana freeze bones but would take issue with not getting her chicken bones. She is a big boxer and has eaten them
since she was a puppy..
Question how many nomads have lost a dog or had a dog injured by the notorious chicken bone

Death by Chicken Bone
The street-wise dogs we have adopted - zip, zero, none.
The spoiled, hand-raised home dogs with no survival skills, none; because we don't trust them to have common sense, so we don't give them chicken
bones.

We lost my favorite husky by giving her a ham bone to chew on. The chewed off flakes packed together and impacted in her intestines and died on the
operating table. It broke my heart.

Gladys our 5 yr old boxer has just released her first training video on the proper techniques of Zen and the art of eating chicken bones. In fact she
loves other people's dogs so much she is willing to send every dog owner her trusted technique of eating chicken bones but of course she does have a
small handing and shipping fee. Do not let your dog go another day without enjoying the pure pleasure of eating chicken bones..
I must be bored and have way to much time on my hands..

so you're saying that when a feral dog catches a bird it is a bad idea for the dog to eat it?

As a poster above stated, it's the cooked bones that splinter and harm dogs. Raw bones are a-okay, so a dog killing a bird or other animal and eating
the bones is safe (and happy). So says my hubby, a doggy care research fanatic. You can also give them bones that are soft from being cooked a long
time (i.e. broth-making).
And hello, I'm Debbie. First post, but have been registered for a while.
