actually, the industrial chicken that i have purchased (usually by mistake, or from an outlet that doesn't label what they sell) for su tong does cause some trouble--but not because of the bones--more because of the crap introduced during/by processing--industrial chicken gives him diarrhea. every time. which just goes to show: i wouldn't feed purdue to my dog.
it's possible that the safety of raw chicken may differ by breed/size: su tong is a siberian husky---maybe size is a consideration--small dogs may have a different time of it--i dont know.
what i do know is that he really really loves raw chicken.
and he is a very healthy dog (yay!).
and the other thing i do know is that i would not give him cooked bones.
in the end, there is a ton of mutually exclusive information out there about this topic.
when i decided to start feeding him raw chicken, i did so while i was still subscribed to a siberian husky e-list that had a ton of breeders and other neurotics who posted---i simply kept a bit of track of what the breeders said about it.
at this point, i am fairly sure of what works for him and what doesn't because of 6 years of hanging out with the old boy.
