Henry the Rottweiler eats a raw chicken leg

Henry the Rottweiler (ten months old) eating his raw chicken leg breakfast. He has been on raw food since he was five months old and eats a variety of meat, bones, offal and smaller amounts of vegetables and fruits.

Remember that COOKED bones should never be given to dogs, we only give ours raw ones. If your dog is new to Raw feeding or has a tendency to gulp or swallow his food fast, then supervision is always recommended when feeding raw bones.

Ok I'm just starting feeding my dogs raw and am a bit concerned about the bone issue. I saw one video that said to take away the food when they get to the bone. Can you tell me the process of what you did with your dog in regards to bones....starting when they are pups is the right idea.

@curiosidadesextrano

away, make him sit and then give it to him again. Repeat the process until he learns how to chew it (you can help by holding the bone if you'd like), most dogs figure it out sooner or later. Just remember to feed only raw (never cooked because they can splinter) and to supervise mealtimes. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any more questions.

@thenenebello21 I had a dog named Moonie that died from chicken bones... I really miss her

@ImYinSoo so true , I didn't know that until I killed my mixed pitbull with rottweiler, I feel so sorry for him he was a gorgeous dog RIP BOBBY

an average rottweiler has a bite force of 328 pounds of pressure per inch...so i wouldn't worry about a rottweiler not being able to crush a bone

@Swedenr1 Raw chicken is good for dogs... COOKED CHICKEN w/ bones can kill dogs -.-

Giving the dog a raw chicken leg? ARE U INSANE!??!?!!

Why is everyone so concerned about bacteria ??? It's on every bloody surface going, and dogs can eat green meat and still be fine. I would say Henry is a bit small but he has a great friendly nature about him. My 11 month old weighs 52kg and the bet says he's perfect. It's not really about weight with these dogs it's as long as there healthy :).

@curiosidadesextrano freezing meat DOES NOT KILL BACTERIA... did you actually think it did??? raw chicken is completely covered in a bacteria called Campylobacter jejuni that is extremely harmful to humans and probably dogs too. All chickens have this bacteria but their immune systems are able to handle it. Bacteria also cannot be killed by freezing. Believe me, as a person with a degree in Biology, you need to cook the meat to kill the bacteria.

Henry was the runt of the litter so he's quite small for a Rottweiler (his mum and dad weren't very big either). I'm not sure how much he weighed at the time but he's 2 and half years old now and weighs about 9 stone. You can feed your 6 month pup chicken wings no problem, always make sure to supervise and feed them one at a time if he's new to it.
