Baby Dragon Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Is it ok to feed raw chicken wings to my Lab x Poodle? I can't remember if someone told me it was ok or not! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Is it ok to feed raw chicken wings to my Lab x Poodle?I can't remember if someone told me it was ok or not! Thanks They are the basis of many of my dog's meals Blossom. You could try chicken frames for a larger dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpley Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yep it sure is. You can also try the frames as PF said, or necks aswell. Just be careful with the necks as some dogs tend to scoff them and don't chew them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks poodlefan and isiss :D He normally gets a chicken frame with his dinner, but the shop ran out of them when I went to get more. So I got chicken wings instead, and I'm hoping they will be ok. He is such a garbage guts, I guess I was just worried about him having something so small that he isn't as used to!

Baby Dragon Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) Thanks :D They are frozen! I will try feeding them frozen and hold on to one end to make sure he chews. He is used to chicken frames so I hope it will be ok. Will take it off him if he starts being a guts! Edited May 21, 2008 by Blossom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Zig gets a chicken wing for his supper at bed time - although he loves his food with a passion I am fortunate that he is a very careful eater of meaty bones. How's the lad going, Blossom? Nice to see you around :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Dragon Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) Hey TSD, good to see you too :D He is doing great, he has really grown up in the last few months! Has a really bad haircut atm though lol I tried to 'poodle' him and it kind of didn't work out :D Edited May 21, 2008 by Blossom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outatime Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 sorry to hijack the thread (its chicken related so probably no point in starting a new thread) Is there any part of the chicken they should not eat? I know the drumstick has that long needle type bone - I'm guessing this is a no no? Also, wings, frames necks etc....raw only? my mum has always fed our dogs and has always refused to give any bones to them. I'm getting a puppy in about 6 weeks or so, so need to find out about all this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoodleNut Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yep it sure is. You can also try the frames as PF said, or necks aswell. Just be careful with the necks as some dogs tend to scoff them and don't chew them at all. Just saw this thread and thought I would tell you what happened tonight (relevant) for whatit is worth .. posted on the 'Wet Noodle" thread under Puppy problems...... Well the adventures of Noodle nearly came to a grinding halt tonight ... I turned around and I think she swallowed a WHOLE chicken neck!!! She wimpered for a couple of seconds so I rubbed her back and nexk and she stopped. Usually she chews them up! What is with the swallowing!!! She wont be getting those to eat on her own ever again!! Just been on the phone to the vet clinic and it will be a wait and see .. the advice is that the neck should be broken down But I am concerned about obstructions occuring....worry wort that I am! Noodle seems fine at the moment .. just lying her on the floor next to me...........................LIFE! It ain't boring around this joint with the Noo around that's for sure!! I reckon I could have another 3 threads going on some of the stuff she does at the moment !! Silly silly girl ... sitting in the bloomin' rain, swallowing whole chicken necks .. what is she thinking ????? or more to the point ... is anything going on underneath all of that hair of hers So, I had been freezing the necks but this one had defrosted as Noodle is a bit off her food at the moment and so I gave her the neck in the kitchen .. I was on the phone to a work colleague about 2 feet away and this happened in a blink of an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Just a word of warning and yes I feed chicken wings too. A friends Chessie got a chicken wing lodged and required surgery $1500 later........ Vet suggested in future cutting the chicken wings into thirds at the corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttaburra Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Maxi took a while to master them, they can be a bit difficult to bite right through the flesh and skin. He managed to swallow but vomits it up again whole then has another go. Definitely supervise with all bones until you are sure they have mastered them.

Baby Dragon Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) You guys have me paranoid now lol It will be sausages for my dog tonight.. I know they're not really good for him, but I don't want him choking, and he eats so quickly! Edited May 21, 2008 by Blossom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 sitting in the bloomin' rain, swallowing whole chicken necks .. what is she thinking ????? :)She is not thinking...she is simply acting as a DOG. Dogs do sit in the rain... especially ones with thick coats dogs do gulp their food... with chicken necks..it is unfortunate that their dimensions match that of a dog's oesophagus The vet is probably correct... and it will be broken down safely.....chicken bones are from 'baby' chooks..only around a couple of months old..so aren't hard and dense...

Guest Tess32 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Plenty of dogs crunch a chicken wing a couple of times and then swallow. They really aren't meant to chew. If the wings are too small for them, give them maryland instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really aren't meant to chew.If the wings are too small for them, give them maryland instead. That is pretty much what my dogs do with them. They don't bite bits off. The whole wing goes in their mouth, there are about 2 or 3 big crunches and then they swallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
