Which chemicals are you talking about? Can you name just 1 or 2 and tell us how they harm our dogs? Please say what you are sure of and not hearsay! We are talking about risk of transmission of diseases and harm from bones, and you're bringing up chemicals. Don't even get me started on 'chemicals' that could be found in your raw chicken o, even if you reared the chicken yourself...

Fonts and the general look of a website can definitely act as one of the indicators of a professional website. That website looks more like someone's personal blog.

Nobody is saying raw chicken is not a good source of protein, in fact it's an excellent source I must say, and it also has other benefits as well, but why would I want to put my dog at risk, even the slightest risk, when there are alternatives with similar benefits but without the risks...makes no sense to me!

There is no way of telling for sure if a bird has a disease just by looking at it, dead or alive...just like saying one can tell if a human has typhoid or HIV just by looking at the person, even a medical doctor can't...well maybe a native doctor or spiritual pastor can, as they often claim, but I'm sure your not gonna go to that extent so you can feed raw.

The best thing to do is just to cook...simple as that.

As a medic, I think I can confidently say this post is anything but from a trust worthy source. Anyone who says 'bones can scrub off gingivitis' knows nothing about 'gingivitis'.

And what sort of professional site would post with those fonts...

Can we have the link to that web page

agboedeh:

Rany4all:
Still waiting for the screenshot...

Below is a screenshot from a very reputable website (WebMD) on the risks of feeding raw meat...

'Higher chances' means there is still some chance of a dog choking on raw bones, right?

And I disagree that the 'only reason' is the disease...what about nutritional deficiencies. Just like humans, dogs also need a balanced diet...they have adapted their dietary requirements over thousands of years of living with humans. They need a diet containing carbohydrates, proteins, fats & oils, vitamins, minerals and of course water, all in the right proportion and quantity.

I used to do the feeding raw but i stopped knowing that it's kinda harmful, we should all be careful while feeding our dogs bones

So how best do you advice i serve the chicken??

Rany4all:
I hope OP has stopped feeding raw chicken to his dogs.

*Disadvantages include transmission of diseases, feeding an unbalanced diet as nothing else is usually added to the raw meat, and besides bones from the parts of the chicken he chose can easily fragment and choke the dogs or cause internal splinter injuries.

Even when you cook, please always choose safer parts of the meat. Chicken wings and feet are just not safe. Better to give chicken neck, breast or head (less risky)...
