chicken carcass done in slow cooker ( can a dog/puppy eat it?? )

Tony got all excited when I got the slow cooker out... but it was for the doggies .. not him!!

I put oats, barley, carrots, brown rice, lamb off cuts ( just meat ) a tin of sardines and 2 chicken carcasses. Of course when I went to get the carcasses out tonight they had all gone really soft and fallen apart. My question is how do I get all the bones out of the casserole for the boys?? I tried to pick alot of the bones out.. it is hard work! Will it hurt if there are still bones in it?? They are really tender and soft... Thanks!

you should never give dogs cooked chicken bones, they can splinter very easiley andthey could choke

I am still going through the casserole trying to get all the bones out.. what a job!! I gave them both a few mouthfuls... they couldn't eat it quick enough!!

never making one again using chicken bones... it has got knobs on it!!

If you make another one, leave out the chicken bones (never give a dog any cooked bones, but especially chicken!), the barley & the oats, and don't cook it!!!!

Sorry.

Seriously, they don't need oats or barley. Just use meat & carrots & they'll love you forever!!

I found a similar recipe on a internet dog recipe site... which is surprising that I actually found time to do anything else than be addicted to this web site all day!! ( and night!! ) shame I had no time to cook Tony anything for tea....

Oh, poor Tony

I know I will probably get a ripping for this, but our boys have cooked bones all the time.
I never use to give them to them, but my partner said they would be fine and he tried Kuta with one after we had KFC one night. He ate it nice and slow and was fine. I think as long as you dog takes their time with their food, they will be fine. I wouldn't give cooked bones to a dog that scoffs their food though. Both our boys are slow eaters and take their time and crunch the bones very well before swallowing. I also only give them to them when they are fully supervised, they are always in our sight when eating them.
If you are in doubt though, go with your instincts and don't give them cooked bones.

Please, please, PLEASE don't give cooked chicken bones, even if they chomp them really well! The bones themselves become extremely brittle, and will splinter into needle sharp pieces, even if they are chewed! A piece of cooked chicken bone that has splintered as small as half a cenimetre long can perforate the bowel and cause peritonitis, which could kill your dog in an extremely short space of time, often before you can even get them to a vet, let alone have a vet treat them.

You've been lucky so far, but PLEASE don't take that chance again!

so to ask another question if i gave mine a whole raw chicken carcass from the butchers it would be fine as long as im watching him all the time bones and all

Raw bones are not as dangerous as cooked bones but the dogs still need to be supervised while eating them.

Yes, as long as it's raw and fresh. But do supervise.
