Including bones. I didn’t know raw bones are safe but cooked bones are dangerous.

Raw are apparently better than cooked but I would never feed a raw chicken to a dog. It could contain all sorts of bugs

A good friend of mine has two hefty Bernese mountain dogs. She buys bulk orders of chicken wings for them. They devour them raw with much enthusiasm. They also get a kind of meat mince, seaweed extract and all kinds of other goodies. Her family have been breeding and showing Bernese for years…
Lovely dogs!

I buy raw chicken necks for my kids dogs when they visit, the dogs love them.
$7 for 2 kg.
Cheap, crunchy and meaty

I thought about that, too. But then I realized that no one cooks food that wild dogs – coyotes, wolves, foxes, etc.-- eat.
I asked a veterinarian whether processed dog food is as good as whole animals. She explained. “No, that’s why it needs so many ingredients - to replace (artificially) what’s in a whole animal. And cooking destroys most of the needed nutrients.”
Yes but what we don’t know is how long those wild animals live vs a domestic pet dog that is fed with care.

I remember reading that if an animal doesn’t become food for another animal & doesn’t starve, they can live just as long.
