Check out the raw diet listings as well, I'm sure they will have more information as I've seen frozen recommended several times. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Important thing is we all feed what's comfortable for ourselves and our dogs.

How can grinding be worse? If someone has a dog who continually chokes on food because he's not chewing it, why not grind the bones into a powder or just use bonemeal? At least they're getting the nutrients, even if they're not getting the benefit of chewing/teeth cleaning/etc.? Depending on how cold you freeze, a frozen bone or piece of meat could splinter and have sharp edges, or damage teeth. There's a big difference between 30degrees frozen and subzero in terms of how the meat comes out and the dog's ability to eat it. If you're talking about frozen at around 30 degrees, where the dog is able to at least put teeth marks in it, then I agree that it forces the dog to slow down and chew until it's thawed enough to eat. Frozen solid is a whole different thing.

I'm sorry, but again I and several others have had success with this method, so I see no reason in trying to argue with me about this. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I'm not saying I'm right and that you're wrong, far from it, but remember how there are little details in the dog world we'll never be able to fully agree on. I've been asked why I feed the way I do, so I've answered it. Why do we have to take it further than that?

Kristine, I don't recall asking you why you feed the way you do, or actually asking you, personally, anything at all, except about grinding. In my last post, I was not speaking only to you. If you reread my post, you'd see that all I was trying to say is that if someone has a dog that is unable to learn to chew and therefore needs to be revived continually, perhaps grinding bone to powder or supplementing with bonemeal would be an alternative to the heimlich, even though chewing and consuming the bones is preferred for several reason, teeth not being the least. I couldn't care less if some people feed frozen; please don't accuse me of arguing for the sake of arguing without reading carefully. Michelle seemed to be looking for feedback from more than one person, so I gave mine, using PERSONAL experience-i.e., just my opinion and what works for my dogs. She didn't say what kind of dog she has, unless I missed it, so I gave examples of polar-opposite sized dogs and the way I feed them, and have fed them for some time, with no problems. It certainly was not meant to serve as a dog-feeding Bible or to undermine what you were recommending or your beliefs. I would feed frozen too, if your dog were mine, and I apologize if I came across as argumentative.

If you don't mind, how do you figure the thigh bone of a biped is not weight bearing? I ask in all seriousness.

Michelle,seeing that you posted this in december your dog is old enough for bones.Chicken necks are great to feed your dog. When I started feeding my two dogs raw I was very worried about the whole idea of bones and the chocking possibility.The first couple ow weeks I watched them very closely.To be honest with you I dont even think about anymore.Both my shepherds are around 85-90 lbs so they can handle big pieces of meat quite easily.Just the other day I came home with two whole rabbits I gave each dog a whole rabbit and off they went to enjoy dinner they where both done in less than five minutes.One of the benefits of giving them bigger bones is that it cleans their teeth better.When I feed my dogs I try to keep it as simple as possible,the one question I always ask myself when I am thinking of a particular food to feed my dogs is,Would a Wolf eat this,if the answer is yes than I give it to my dogs.

Ok....
Does this mean no poultry leg bones? Because these certainly bear the weight of the bird. I ask mainly because I have heard that feeding "weight bearing bones" requires the addition of eggshell to the diet to maintain Ca/P ratios. Currently my 15-week Rottweiler happily munches his way through a raw, thawed chicken hind quarter for his evening meal; along with a little Honest Kitchen Embark to provide a base for his fish oil, probiotics, apple cider vinegar and pumpkin if needed. It takes him less than 10 minutes with his little puppy teeth.
On the frozen food issue, mushers have fed frozen carcasses for centuries; both partial and whole. They feed everything from skinned animals off trap-lines to fish to moose; all frozen. Portions are hacked off with an axe if necessary. And this powers dogs who give new meaning to the phrase "working dog".
