Myth, myth, myth - corporate "Pedigree Mates" dogfood company myth (well maybe!!)

My dogs have been eating chicken bones, cooked and uncooked, for years. This is because my Spanish fiances mother gave them to her dogs all her life and my fiance told me (her mam doesn't speak ingles) - we haven't had choking problems.

Can't speak for those of you that say you know of dogs that choked. By the way I believe you - and am sure you're not employed by some dogfood company or something but just to letting you know that Senora Otero and myself never had problems - if you do the math (that's a lot of chicken bones without much choking).

Or maybe it has something to do with the size of dog. Mine were always Lab/Mastiff crosses (eats every last bone whole) - medium sized. Mrs Oteros were Cockers. Anyway they were all wolves/foxes at some stage though weren't they? You don't see many of them dying on Discovery after eating birds!

I'd also like to mention having seen broken cooked and uncooked chicken bones - has anyone seen a study which tells us cooked are more dangerous. Uncooked bones seem and feel much sharper.

ps. Erm what's the story with the statement "NO BONES FROM ANIMALS ARE GOOD"!! I take it then that bones from plants are good to go then?
