Buddy's Chicken Dinner


Buddy is raw fed, and eats prey model, which means we try hard to simulate what canines eat in the wild. So he eats lots of raw meat, some edible bones, and some organs. He eats mostly red meat, like pork, beef, lamb, and goat, but also chicken, turkey, salmon, and other meats. This is a whole chicken that he started eating yesterday, though he only wanted the organs yesterday. Today he was hungry, and ate quite a bit of the chicken. I give him access to appropriate food and he decides how much he wants to eat, and he does a good job of keeping his weight stable. He was a sick underweight rescue when he came home, and has been healthy and at optimal weight for almost two years now. For the sake of reference, he's about 19 lbs, and the chicken weighed about 4½ lbs. It'll take him just over a week to eat it completely. I get asked this question all the time, so I'll say it again here: raw chicken bones are not dangerous. Cooked bones of any kind are dangerous and I never feed them, but I'm perfectly happy to feed raw bones.
