| Okay, so it's a baby step, but we gave each dog 1/2 a raw chicken thigh. Hand fed them both and they LOVED it! I even let Dakota chew off the bone a bit while I held it. I'm still a little wary of letting them actually eat the bones though. Now to just make sure that everything sits well. Next time, I'll try to take some pictures.  |

| Try chicken wings, the bones are smaller. I feed Skye a couple of these every morning and she crunches them down without any trouble. |

I typically wouldn't suggest chicken wings when starting out with an adult dog for the very reason that they are smaller. Being as small as they are they are easier to swallow whole or without much chewing which can be dangerous with an adult dog that isn't used to chewing up their raw meals. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with feeding raw wings to an adult, it's just something I wouldn't try for a beginner introducing raw to an adult sibe like Kim is doing unless under very close supervision. I think starting out with larger bones is better for a beginner since it forces them to chew. Starting with chicken wings on a young puppy is a whole different story and may be better to introduce than larger bones, of course with close supervision.
