Chicken bones...

I just cut a leg bone in half with a spoon....

I'm gonna let it go til about 8 tonight and feed some to the boys - I think my Mom wants the broth thou....it smells yummy even thou I know its just bones. LOL.

Thanks Becca...I'll see what we've got lying around...

Oh, and Ham...I de-boned that last night too....but theres a lot of skin/fat left, I saved it. Is it OK to give in LITTLE portions? My Mom told me to give it all to them(this is over a pound of fat/meat/skin/tendons)....I brought up the fact that so much fat would make them gassy....she changed he mind on giving it all to them at one time. LOL

 Funny - tell someone that something is "bad" for their dogs and they blow you off.  Tell them it causes gas and they pay attention and stop feeding the offending item immediately.  Weird!

Sorry, back to topic

I have actually overcooked leftover beef ribs to a point the bones could be easily broken apart by hand. The dogs enjoyed the bones and the meat over their kibble.

Cooked fat could kill them?? Wow....ok....they MIGHT get a teaspoon a day for a week.....EEEP. Not good.

Chuffy - I know, its funny in a not-so-funny sort of way. Taz used to get oreo's.......nevermind that chocolate kills dogs....luckily, Mom stoped buy oreos

If she buys any more you better send them here, for his own safety

there's not enough real chocolate in oreos to really be a concern.

Most dogs can handle cooked fats just fine, especially if they are used to eating a variety of food items. Unfortunately the only way to find out if your dog is an exception involves risking death/ expensive vet visits.

Only if you send me all the chocolate that Will counts but wont eat!

mudpuppy - I'm not worried abouit a *little* of the fat here and there, but this is like, a pound of fat. I'm not gonna risk that much.

 After they've gone all squishy in his hands, no one else wants them either.  Seriously, we have three tins of Qulaity Street here and I have no idea how we will get through it all!

LOL! Ya gotta teach the kid how to properly handle the chocolate! ROTFLMBO!!

Do it on low. For like, a day. Or more. Ie, it will take a long time, much longer than a few hours. Then what I do is stick some rice or potatoes in there, maybe celery, carrot, apples, whatever fruits and veggies are in the house except onion, and let them absorb the flavor. I serve about a cup of that per meal and it's well under the 30% mark for supplementing kibble.

I never knew you could do this! Becca,if I had a dollar for every useful bit of info I have learned via your posts........Thanks

Tena - I cooked mine of low for 36hrs, adding water as needed....by the time I decided to stop cooking it, I could pinch a thight bone and it's smush in half.
