Can you give your dogs turkey bones? - GoFuckYourself.com

I know Chicken bones are bad but how are turkey bones?

WarChild · 10-11-2005, 07:31 PM

No, I certainly wouldn't do it. Small bones splinter easily and it's dangerous. Turkey AND Chicken.

pornguy · 10-11-2005, 07:31 PM

Bird bones in general are bad hey splinter, and that is a bad thing for them

Amputate Your Head · 10-11-2005, 07:33 PM

i wouldn't risk it.
but I give mine pork bones including the ribs, all the time.... they love 'em.

dready · 10-11-2005, 07:34 PM

Don't do it man!

Apollo · 10-11-2005, 07:37 PM

reynold · 10-11-2005, 07:46 PM

Turkey bones is still teh same as chicken bones. Don't risk your pet's life with that man.

sniperwolf · 10-11-2005, 07:53 PM

People always tell me I shouldn't but I just tell them: Wolves eat birds.

Depends on what kind of dog you have and what they are used to.

I've always had big dogs (G Shepards, Labs, mixes) that are used to eating stuff besides "dog food". These types of dogs shouldn't have a problem, mine never did and I fed them all sorts of bones. These were outside dogs that ran free all the time on my land.

Spunky · 10-11-2005, 08:01 PM

Too risky,I wouldn't do it

Forest · 10-12-2005, 08:02 AM

Magnus · 10-12-2005, 08:04 AM

yeah not a good idea for the pooch.... my dog's a freek mind you and eats everything.

WebairGerard · 10-12-2005, 08:04 AM

No you should not. They are too soft and splinter.

u-Bob · 10-12-2005, 08:04 AM

depends on the kind of dog you have. ask a vet instead of gfy

dirtydesignz · 10-12-2005, 08:46 AM

A dog can eat RAW bones, beef, pork, chicken and turkey. But never any cooked bird bones.

Please explain to me how house pets are used to eating "stuff" besides dog food? I don't know about you, but I don't have wild birds flying in and out of my condo.

House pets are not meant to be eating things they find in the wild. I understand that yours were outside dogs, so it's different, but for most of us, it's not safe.

I wouldn't give my dogs bird bones. I try to stick to only what is made for dogs. I'm a consumer sucker.

What's made for dogs is an all natural diet. Dogs weren't designed to eat grains that make up the bulk of dog food. The best thing anyone can feed any dog is a BARF Diet.

The word BARF is an acronym for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. Every living animal on earth requires a biologically appropriate diet. And if you think about it, not one animal on earth, is adapted by evolution to eat a cooked food diet.

The BARF DIET? does not contain grain products. Grains are not biologically appropriate for our pets. The ingestion of grain and other starchy foods contribute to most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases. Domestic pets should be getting their carbohydrate in a similar manner to their wild ancestors. That means fresh, raw vegetables and fruit.

Also, dogs that eat a barf diet don't poop as much since they put to use more of the food they eat and also don't drink as much since they get alot of liquids from the raw foods

100% correct.

Give your dog any bones they will eat as long as they are UNCOOKED. Cooked causes them to splinter and get stuck where they aren't supposed to.

Beyond that you need to avoid onion and chocolate and your dog will be fine.

I've owned dogs for nearly 30 years now. Trying to get a dog to eat fruit and veggies is like trying to forcefeed a t-bone to a vegan.

I buy a premium dry dog food for my pooch, I give him about a cup and a half of it per day, and I mix a bit of leftovers and pan leavings into it for him. His dinner is gone in 60 seconds (or less) :D

Oh, and no bird bones gets near him. Period. Like amp said, it's pork bones, rib bones, the odd big ham bone to gnaw on, that's it.

It is hard to get an older dog to eat raw veggies, but they can be trained to do it. It is much easier to start a puppy on a barf diet. Cooked beef or pork bones have no value for a dog except that they like the flavor and like to chew.

Our min-pin loved to eat his raw food, chicken wings/carrots in the morning and hamburger/stew meat and green veggies with a touch of liver in the evenings ... And ox tails to snack on

Actually bone meal is quite good for them, and gnawing on those types of bones (beef, ham etc) feels good on their teeth, so there is some value there. Plus it keeps them busy for hours.

But you're right about starting a dog off early on a certain diet or habit.

Some dogs just seem to have specific preferences though. My first dog, a samoyed-siberian-lab-sheppard, used to like apple cores. The dog I have now, a collie-husky cross, would no more touch one than gnaw off it's own paw.
