What To Do If Your Dog Eats Chicken Bones
THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.

We are aware of the dog’s gargantuan appetite. Dogs, as everyone knows are not picky eaters. Dogs would not pass up the chance to eat even indigestible objects. A well loved dog that is regularly provided with high quality food will still eat poop. Vets and anybody that have the expertise in raising dogs would tell us that dogs and chicken bones are not good combinations. Be sure the dog is locked up in another room if you plan to attack a bucket of KFC while watching Avatar.
No matter how careful you are, you may not always be able to stop the dog from eating chicken bones. What will you do if the dog has decided to raid the trash cans where you have chucked the bucket of chicken bones? As the dog have already ingested the chicken bones, short of asking the dog to spew what it has eaten, nothing much can be done. You simply need to monitor the “things” that goes out of the dog’s rear end.
Dogs have this peculiar predilection for dogs. Bones are in fact buried and considered as treasures by the dog.. What potential dangers do chicken bones have for the dog? Cooking makes chicken bones brittle. When gnawed and ingested by the dog, the bones can easily break and sharp splinters can puncture the stomach and the intestines. There is a risk that the sharp splinters can get stuck in the mouth and throat. Chicken drumsticks are more potentially dangerous. Thigh bones are long and hard so that when gnawed by the dog it can break into needle sharp slivers that can create havoc in the dog’s innards.
The first thing you have to do if the dog has eaten chicken bones is to observe the dog’s behavior. If the bones have punctured the mouth, the stomach, and the intestines or have created a blockage, the dog would be listless and would be kind of moody. Take note of the dog’s stool. If it is tinged with blood or if the dog is straining to defecate, don’t procrastinate; take the dog to the vet’s.
Chicken bones are normally passed with the feces. A double ration will not only “cushion” the bones but the additional food intake will encourage the dog’s system to pass more stools. Pumpkins are touted to be effective remedies that will make the dog throw up. Wish that the bones will be thrown up by the dog.
