Discussing this with you is challenging, especially when your factual evidence is a YouTube video from Top Dog Professional Training, while veterinary sources say the opposite. The video demonstrates that prolonged cooking can make a bone soft. It does not demonstrate that feeding slow cooked chicken carcasses is safe. There is also the nutritional question. Bones are concentrated sources of calcium and phosphorus. How much long cooked chicken bone should a 15 kg dog eat every day, and how do you calculate that against the calcium and phosphorus already in the rest of its diet? Too much calcium is not automatically harmless. Veterinary nutrition guidance specifically warns that excessive calcium can cause mineral imbalances, gastrointestinal problems and, especially in growing large dogs, abnormal skeletal development. You better come up with some better sources and more specific details. And while you are at it, explain the nutritional side. How much of your slow cooked chicken bone should a 15 kg dog eat per day, how much calcium and phosphorus does that provide, and how do you keep the total diet within the correct calcium to phosphorus balance?
