Answer
Fowl legs can splinter and choke a dog or puncture the GI tract. Your harder bones if given to a severe chewer can split and chip teeth. The molars are expensive to fix and even to pull. You might want to consider a safer chew like a KONG which can be filled with food and dogs usually love it if filled with the right things. There is also the everlasting treat ball. Fowl bones are safe to give a dog are the spine, but only if they are raw. -Michelle B
