My guys get a lot of half thawed meat. In the dead heat of summer, when they're not eating too enthusiastically anyway, I'll often feed them straight from the freezer, well, as soon as I can get it apart.
And I totally agree. Even warm meat, like completely thawed or fresh from the store/butcher is kinda gross to me. I don't mind cooking it but putting it in their bowls just doesn't seem quite right. I like a good couple of days of freezing before it hits their bowls. And yup, it's often still at least half frozen when they get it.
If feeding leg Qtrs frozen.(epecially the larger sized ones)....I would consider the size & age of the dog. They are weight-bearing bones & frozen can add to the stress on teeth.
I do feed the smaller sized ones here & there (defrosted- I don't feed anything frozen) but to me the bigger ones pose a greater risk for tooth fracture. I know that many feed them & other larger sized weight bearing bones...but I just don't.
I don't know if there is any truth to the fact that I have read a number of times that freezsing bones makes them harder & more brittle when thawed.
Most usually we feed our chicken quarters about half frozen. Even our younger pups get theirs about half frozen, but only necks and backs. I don't give them leg/thigh 1/4s until they have all their adult teeth well in.
