I feed them all the time to my little guys and big gal. I don't see why not along with a little ground and guts. This of course assumes your dog actually chews their food.
Same here. But now that you mention it; does chewing occur? I can't be sure, I've seen a chicken quarter disappear in two gulps but on the good side his teeth are beautiful and no intestinal problems in two years of being fed raw so I'm going to assume there is some chewing going on.
I do like to offer a bit more organ and muscle meat when feeding wings or even drumsticks to offset the bone content and avoid constipation, I'm not sure if this is recommended but it has worked well for my dog and keeps him regular.
I am in the beginning stage of a raw feeding novice. I will try giving her the whole wing again tonight and see if she will eat it. If not then I will grind it until she gets used to the idea.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also does anyone feed beef back ribs or beef ribs? I have some beef back ribs and they are large so would it be a recreational bone once the meat is gone?
Thanks again

Hey Joe.
I've got a few sincere suggestions.
You should put rawfeeding on hold for a day or two. By reading your posts today, you are starting off on the wrong foot.
Wait until you read a little more, and get your food supplies lined out.
It would also be more helpful to you to start your own "How to?" thread. It is kinda difficult to follow all this in several different threads.
The transition to raw will be a lot faster and easier on your dog if you back up a little and go at this with more info from the books you ordered and the proper beginner foods.

Great suggestion, Michael! I started to address the rib thread and then saw that there was a fish one and a wing one ... and I didn't have the time to sort it out ...
Let's do this, Joe:
" get your food supplies lined out "
and get the questions all into a "how to start" thread. I know we have many, but these "how to start" threads are hugely popular, just like the "oh no, diarrhea!" threads ... and they are definitely linked.
And believe me. I totally understand wanting to hurry up and get started.
But I promise, taking your time and getting the right food, reading your books, and getting your own "How to?" thread, where we can get super specific for your dog's switch, will all make this so easy peasy it's pathetic.:wink:
If you haven't figured it out already I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box when it comes to this forum/thread thing.
I'm embarrassed to say but I guess it is what it is and I need to learn sometime. So am I even close to start a new thread go to Topic Option, then New Topic and put it in the subject box?
Thanks

Just above the "Topic Options" drop-down menu, you'll notice the line that tells that this thread is in the Leerburg / Forums / Health Issues / All-Natural Diet for Dogs "sub-forum." So, yup, you can start a "New Topic," pick a title, like "Help! New to Raw" or something and post your questions there. Other non-raw issues - training, training tools, behavior problems, or just general dog conversation - should be in a more appropriately titled forum. You can click on "Forum List" just above the "Topic Options" box to see the dozens of other forums. It's designed to give a little structure to the multitude of topics discussed here daily. Don't worry about making mistakes at first, that's what the moderators get the "big bucks" for.
And click here for some FAQs that might help you, too.
Click on "new topic" (blue words, upper left). Type in the subject (as Mike suggests, something like "Help! New to Raw"), and type your post. Ta-da! New topic!
