Debo had his first ever drumstick.

I feed Debo dry food but thought it would be nice for him to have some raw meat as a treat. I couldn't get any wing so went for drumstick. At first he didn't know what to do with it, had to hold it for him. When put it down he looked at me like he wanted to say" What am I supposed to do with it now?" . And when I was holding it for him and his lip touched my finger the horror in his eyes and he was so delicate while I was holding it like he knew what demage he could do. Now. Wouldn't the drumstick too much for him? I mean with the bones and skin? It's all new for me. 

Aww, bless him. No, the raw drumstick will be fine - bones and all

Yeah will be fine  

Ive just changed Daisy to raw and she's also very unsure of meat on the bone, like she doesn't know what to do with it. However, if I give them to her frozen, she eats them straight away!

Roxi loves it , 9 weeks old now and shes been brought up on raw , chicken wings , drumsticks , chicken carcass plus pet mince ... She loves it all :-)

I'm not very good with raw feeding, but it should be OK

Yes that should be fine to feed him bless, my girl Ebony woofs them down but Charlie likes to take his time! They're all different in how they eat! Just make sure you always supervise him when he's eating them Enjoy Debo!

my boys eat whole chickens so yes it's fine

i hope he enjoyed it  

Mia loves chicken, it's her favourite  

Mmm hope debo liked it

He loved it!

Silly question but I thought you can't give chicken bones to dogs as the splinter?x

Cooked chicken bones splinter and are a definate no no , raw bones are fine , Roxi eats drumsticks , chicken wings and whole carcasses and she loves them , crunches the bones and wolfs the lot down

as neil said raw chicken bones are fine for a dog to eat, same with other bones, raw is fine

Probably silly question but where do you feed them raw food? Cant imagine having him chomping on carcasses around the house! Lol
Also where do you buy your drumsticks etc?

Lucky debo nom nom

In the kitchen so any mess is easy to wipe up  I have a raw food shop so get mine from there, although I did buy some wings from the supermarket  

 

We're not so lucky with the butchers around here. So since Sunday he didn't have any  . But will make the efford today and get him some wings,

At what age can they have them pup is. 5 months
Old his food and chews don't last that long as eats so fast
I'm worried he will eat to fast and choke

Tommy has been on raw chicken drumsticks, wings and carcasses since he was 9 weeks old.
I would always supervise them though. Tommy is great with bones but my sister started feeding her older two English Bull Terriers on raw after reading up on it and one of them nearly chocked on a wing. Her husband had to get his hand in the dogs throat to remove the wing, apparently it was very scared. Drumsticks, thighs and carcasses are better due to the shape and size, they make sure the dogs crunches and chews. Wings are an odd shape and fold back on themselves meaning they can get lodged in the dogs throat if they're not used to chewing and crunching.

my pups start on a raw diet at 8 weeks old.

If your worried hold one end of the bone and let them crunch the other, you can also feed the bones still frozen to help slow them down

You can always hold it for him to make sure he will cranch it

Will try lol:D
