In reply to Lori. The article said to make a quick phone call to the vet if he had any of the symptoms. Worth a phone call.

Thank you for calming me down. Mr. Bear, our 7-year old yellow lab, helped himself to the contents of the garbage can (my fault for not taking out before going to bed) – selecting cooked chicken bones I had tossed. I prepare a mixture of steamed broccoli, steamed yams and steamed chopped beef for Mr. Bear that I mix with his dog good kibbles. I am feeding him now so he is not digesting the chicken bone on empty stomach. Your information was very helpful. Thank you again.

I have read this and I agree with Celeste above. I have had dogs all my life, from small corgi terrier to Labs. From 10 pounders to 100 pounders. Large and small. Bones have always, I mean Always been given as treats. Chicken, Pork, beef. cooked always. Now that being said, I am the worst dog owner in the world if you listen to most on this page. So be it. However I have had BONE EATING DOGS live long and prosperous lives. My Dad, who feed his Golden retriever bones as a regular habit, and that dog lived to be over 17 years old. Not to mention 2 other of his dogs did the same. IF you read closely to this article and it says that the EVIDENCE is weak. I say it is non existent. I have seen a dog choke and cough on a bone, BUT it is rare, and they have the instinct to fix it themselves in 99% of the cases I have seen. I feel it is irresponsible for someone to post FEAR instilling falsehoods like this without adding disclaimers. This being said, If you dont want too feed your dog bones, then dont, that is your choice. But please do not advertise falsely that it is dangerous when it is clearly barely a concern. As far as a Veterinarians are concerned, I trust them less than I trust Practicing Doctors. Any profession that is “Practicing” means they have not got it all right, means they DONT KNOW IT ALL… IM done.

In reply to The Yadi fan..

Raw bones are 100% okay

But I agree that feeding a dog cooked chicken bones intentionally is completely irresponsible, cooked bones when cooked become brittle. If the dog chews it up into small pieces those pieces can pierce the wall of the stomach or intestines or even pierce the throat or get into the lungs. Same with sticks, I never let mine eat sticks as long as I’m supervising.

Theres always that what if, and I’d rather be safe than sorry ??

In reply to Rita Celeste.

Rite Celeste it is, in my humble opinion, somewhat irresponsible of you to downplay the dangers of dogs eating chicken bones.

Your anecdotal evidence is just that, anecdotal. Simply because you have never personally seen a dog get injured due to consuming a chicken bone absolutely does not mean that others will have the same results.

There are far too many variables at play and you have far too few qualifications for you to summarily declare that chicken bones are safe for all dogs and that your personal experience supersedes any advice from a trained professional.

Spreading false information can be very dangerous where it concerns a pets well-being.

Please consider this in the future.

Thank you so much for this information. My dog hot into the trash (not his fault, it was totally my fault)& ate some cooked chicken bones on Tuesday night. He’s eating and drinking and showing no signs of distress except he has been vomiting several hours after he eats. I did cut down his portion to see if it would help him digest better but he’s still vomiting. How long do I wait to take him to the vet? He gets too stressed at the vets so I don’t want to cause him anymore trauma

Im really glad i read this because if not i may have a heart attack or depression right now… Im having a puppy labrador and we leave her for about 5 minutes and i saw her eating a cooked bone… So I’ll just observe her in 48 hours and check if she is doing the actions of symptoms…. A big THANKYOU here?

Thank you for the advice as we can be calmer now that we know the signs of distress. We would never give our dog chicken bones, but he found one in the snow on the side of the road. Chicken bones belong in the trash, people.
