Thanks for this post -- and to clarify the confusion:
COOKED CHICKEN BONES = BAD FOR DOGS
UNCOOKED CHICKEN BONES = OK FOR DOGS
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

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.

I'm sorry but you're wrong on this one. One of my Jack Russells got in the trash and swiped a chicken bone once. We didn't know what was happening
until we heard him gagging in the next room. The chicken bone had splintered while he was eating it and got lodged in his throat. I was able to get my
fingers in his mouth and pull everything out but there was blood every where and not a pretty sight. It's hard telling what would of happened if we
weren't home. Please don't feed your dogs chicken bones or pork bones, they can splinter and end up daggers, not only in their throat but stomach and
intestines as well.

Coyotes will eat rocks. Had one stroll right by my house this AM. Walked up the road toward La Buf like he owned it.

I have to agree with this....not so much the splintering part which I don't disagree with, but why take the chance?

Certain bones, like the long-bones of chicken and pork, can splinter.
Animals can die from perforated throats, esophagus, stomach, intestine or colon.
If your healthy dog becomes lethargic and holds up a back leg it may indicate there is a bone lodged somewhere in the intestine. Only an x-ray can
confirm this and surgery is the safest way to save the dog's life.
I've assisted in numerous spays of dogs who live at the dump.
Even dogs as young as 6 months have intestines visibly scarred from eating trash.
I do give my dogs bones, cooked and uncooked, but only selectively, each examined first.
Now, back on track to Gypsy's thread: Its great she has this arrangement with her favorite restaurant and is sharing in the distribution with her
friends.

A friend sent me an email on foods a dog should avoid. One food on the list was apples. Right up there with chocolate.
I've fed my dog an apple every day for 13 years. Sorry. That's misinformation.
My neighbor feeds her pedigreed dog half an uncooked chicken every day -- says it's good for her dog and that's that.
Before I believe uncooked chicken is bad for dogs, I"ll believe people are generally superstitious.

I have been told NEVER give your dog cooked bones.... that's not natural! Never chicken bones... but beef bones, uncooked, are OK. That's the way
they would eat them in the wild. Never give your dog cooked bones! NEVER!
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

I've heard just the opposite for beef bones. Boil them to kill bacteria in the marrow.

You're friend is wrong. It's grapes that's not good, not apples.
It doesn't matter if your dog is pedigreed or not. That's the same thing as saying I gave a Irish person some pasta.

Still No Chicken Bones Given Out
But, today I caught my eight-month-old Rottie puppies eating my socks that they stole out of the hamper.
I took those away, too.

Exactly. It's not apples but the list I received was forwarded from the internet.
I'm making a distinction between pedigree NOB dogs and feral MX dogs SOB. That's the same thing as saying Taco Bell is MX food.
