the 'trick' here is the word RAW....cooked/boiled bones splinter and cause problems; raw, for the most part, causes no problems.

I've been feeding raw for 6 years now and would never ever go back to feeding commercially prepared dog food...especially given the number of dog food recalls that have been happening over the last little while.

And yes, bones can cause problems, but when I weigh the potential problems feeding raw VS the problems feeding commercially prepared dog food - I'll choose the raw every time...!

Even my cats are raw fed....

Uh oh.  I was told raw bones were good.  Can one of the experts here on
raw feeding tell me for sure if they are okay or not?   I've been giving
my dog raw chicken legs along with some Pedigree canned and it seems
he's been doing fine on them, but.....?
