Why do people keep Heads & Legs

used to give our dogs bones till they started having problems with them getting stuck and broken teeth. No bnes for dogs here. My chow mix recently passed away at 14 year old and the vet said she had great teeth besides the chipped one from a bone. I never brushed her teeth. So giving them bones to clean their teeth isn't necessary. They have things at the store for that.

It all depends on what type of raw bones you give. "Wreck" bones like femurs, knuckles, even pork or beef neck bones can break and chip teeth. They are also thicker and when eaten don't always digest well and are often barfed up (atleast mine tend to). Yea, there's stuff in the store to "clean" teeth that dogs can chew on but it's all full of junk or is just a hunk of plastic.

completely agree with you malignstar.... it's all about avoiding the weight bearing bones.

i'll stick with my necks and feet (that WON'T chip a tooth...not even my yorkie's) rather than that store bought junk. now THAT is

I tried scalding some chicken feet the other day but couldn't get the skin off, so I just gave them to my dog and he loved them. I've done it before and the top layer of skin came right off but this time I think I left them in the scalding water too long or it was too hot. I looked up "Frugals" tutorial on peeling the 'socks' off the feet but he doesn't really give specific directions on how to do it. Anybody have any advice?
 
When I was in the Philippines we would bbq the feet and gnaw on them. They nicknamed them Addidas for the shoe logo is a bird foot. They're not bad really. Thanks for the stock mention though, I didn't know that but it makes a lot of sense.
 
I remember my mom using feet in her broth and her chicken soup was the best. To go one step further, she also saved all the chicken blood in a bowl. when it congealed she fried it like liver. i loved her soup, but could never get myself to eat the fried blood, even though it looked and smelled like liver.
