I'm new to the group. I was always told not to give little dogs chicken bones because of the splinters. I only give Nacho small ham bones and once in a while a soup bone..otherwise he gets rawhide bones for dogs...some vets say not to give them rawhide bones and others say it's okay...Patricia from KS
