Continue feeding your dog raw chicken, bones and all, raw chicken bones are soft and do not splinter, raw meat is much healthier then dog food,and bones add to their diet and firm up their poo. feed your dog this diet and you will see healthier teeth, shiny soft coat, clear bright eyes and less poo in the yard to pick up. you may want to read up on the physical charactaristics of a dog. you will see that they are built and designed for eating meat and bones. Not dog food
