If the Chicken is boiled and all the bones removed it’s actually good for them BUT NEVER GIVE THEM THE BONES!!!! When chicken bones a chewed up they splinter and can get lodged in your dogs throat, stomach, and/or intestines

Raw chicken is fine. It won’t cause a problem in your dog. Dogs are designed to eat raw meats 7 bones without it causing illness.
Raw chicken is the staple of the diet that raw feeders feed their dogs.

Very very very very bad Idea. It could kill your dog if you feed it to much. It isn’t a good thing. And other don’ts:
No cheese
No chocolate
NOTHING RAW
Glad to help! )

This is one of the biggest myths of all time! Raw chicken bones are fantastic for your dog. They are soft enough so that they bend easily, and break well for the dog to digest.
On the other hand, cooked chicken bones can be a problem, and I recommend that you DON’T feed COOKED chicken bones.
Some people are worried about their dog choking on bones. While such incidents are very rare (far more incidents occur with dogs choking on kibble), I encourage the feeding of bigger portions of meaty bones, or if available, whole carcasses, such as whole chickens or rabbits.
So could a raw chicken bone kill a dog? Well I guess that anything is possible. Certainly scientifically you can’t prove a negative argument. However what we do know is that dogs have died from inhaling kibble the wrong way and choking and suffocating to death.
Feeding your dog is about management of risk. No matter which path you decide to take there is always risk. There is always someone who will criticise your decision. However you, and only you can decide what is best for your dogs. Weigh up all the benefits and risks. Do your own analysis. Do your research. Do what will have the greatest overall benefit for your dog.

Never feed any animal raw chicken, salmonella and other types of bacteria. Even raw beef is now questionable because of mad cow disease.

If raw food makes you sick, why would you feed it to your dog? I will not feed my dog any uncooked meat, fowl or fish. I won’t even feed my dog raw eggs.
I don’t understand why people do this. But then, I don’t understand why people do a lot of things to their animals and each other.

Cook the chicken thoroughly before you give it to the dog.
