Hi TJ...
I was told and have not and will never ever give cooked chicken bones to a dog.
But you can give the raw chicken bone. Cooked chicken bones can splinter and cut the stomache lining. Raw breaks down and is much more brittle.
Hi TJ;
What American Dogman said is almost right.
When you cook the chicken, that is when you make the bones much more brittle ... cooking hardens and therefore weaponizes the bone in the chicken, which can perforate the intestine.
By contrast, when the chicken is left raw, the bone inside is softer, and more supple (not brittle), and is therefore easier to digest.
It is essentially like the difference between natural, soft wood and petrified wood. Natural, soft wood is easier to break down whereas petrified wood is now like rock.
BOTTOM LINE: Raw chicken bones are softer, and much easier for the dog to break down, and therefore more digestible.
Jack
