Do you recommend grinding up whole chicken, bone and all? Do you feed to them raw or do you cook? I have 2 Siberian Huskies with many food sensitivities. I would like to start making them homemade dog food but want to make sure it's safe.

My buddy drops whole quale on the garage floor and his dog (Heeler mix) wastes no time crushing that bird and swallowing. You have to watch when you're processing a deer as he'll run away w/ the legs and ribs
Bones are an important part of an animals nutritional intake.
If you're worried about the sharp bones, you can grind them up first.

Drop some egg in there, too. The whole thing, shell and all.

There are a bunch of articles about raw food diet and preparation.

I cook boneless, skinless breast and then grind it with a food processor. That is only part of the meal of course but as far as the meat goes that's just how I've always done it.

When my dog was getting old and stopped eating I boiled chicken breast’s chopped them up and mixed it with rice. Added some warm instant gravy and boom. The old boy started eating again and I got a few more years out of him. I sure miss that guy.

No need to grind anything unless you just want to. As long as you’re feeding raw, they can eat and digest the bones without much in the way of risk. The bones become a hazard when they are cooked.

I’ve fed raw chicken, duck, and turkey for years without the first problem, as have many other raw feeders.
