Now I eat meat, but I try not to have it be boneless, skinless etc. I eat meat off the bone and with the skin. I even save the bones and then make bone stock with them! Then I give the softened bones to my dog as a treat. I try to have as little waste of animal products as possible. I even eat organ meat.
I think that's how meat was intended to be consumed.
That was more of an answer than you asked for... but I'm very satisfied with this process.
off topic but cooked bones should NOT be given to dogs, especially poultry bones,those should never be given at all. cooked bones can splinter and cause damage and even kill a dog.

@SierraFatToSkinny , this is completely off topic but please don't EVER feed cooked bones to your dog. Cooked bones splinter and are very dangerous to feed, regardless of the size of your dog or the bone.
I cook them until they're soft. (Which I mentioned in my original post.)
As in edible. It's very healthy and safe. I make my own dog food so my dog needs some marrow in her diet. She either gets them raw or after two days in the crockpot.
They're perfectly safe when they're soft.
They're soft enough YOU can eat them.
They're essentially marrow bone treats.
If you have a dog you should try it! Just use a crockpot and cook them until you can tear apart a bone with your fingers. I usually do two days on low heat.
I then use the bone broth for soup bases.
sorry but Im not going to risk my dogs life either way. if you want to risk it, thats your decision.and just because I could safely eat them doesnt mean its safe for my dog. some foods that are safe for me to eat are toxic to my dogs. not worth a risk or unnecessary vet bills in my opinion.
... They're homemade dog treats.... The kibble you're feeding your dog is way worse for them than the softened bones.
It isn't a risk at all. It's nutrient dense and good for them. As long as the bones are either raw or cooked till soft.
My dog eats a 100% homemade diet and my vet not only knows, but approves. My girl has the glossiest fur in the dog park!
I never thought about overcooking the bones like that. I usually de-bone first so he can have it or toss them. I will look into this! 2 -

For those interested!
Here's an example:
It's like a bone treat you would buy at the pet store (except even a little softer.) Notice the marrow.
It isn't sharp at all. I easily crumbled it with my fingertips.
Bone is in almost all dog foods.4 -
Eat anything you desire just eat at deficit. If that means forgoing food that makes you overeat then so be it. Don't be racist to meat.1

No. They're nice AF. Take your time and eat one in a relaxed environment. You'll change your mind on em.1 -

Does it work well with other bones besides chicken? I rarely eat poultry but end up with beef and pig bones often. I would think they are too big to boil soft?1 -

This goes for hard bones. After bone broth is made, bone is soft/chewy so it won't splinter.. it may not be so nutritious for the dogs after most of the calcium has been boiled out, but still tasty to them, I guess. Better to grind them to a paste.
The reason why vets say no cooked bones is because of the splintering. Boiled down bones (done properly) shouldn't splinter at all. They're chewy, flexible. I'd worry if the bones were boiled with onions/garlic.
Many dog food is made with bone meal. I would feel gelled bone sparingly...if at all, due to not much nutrition.2 -

I'm a vet (in training for exotics) with not long to go. I have a standard vet degree already. I volunteer at a vet surgery.
I also make my own dog kibble and other pet foods. I've studied per nutrition for many years. Long before I even got my degree. Splintered bone is not safe. Bone meal is safe though. It all comes down to the owner being careful. There are stupid pet owners unfortunately.
And no one is forcing you to feed your dogs what you think is not safe.5 -

Eat a clean vegan diet and workout hard you will see and feel the best results in your life now and in the longevity and overall health. Also look up Dr Sebi he has cured everything from Aids to Diabeties. No meat No dairy No Startch. Clean Alkaline Vegan Diet. A lot of the time vegans and vegetarians put on bad weight is cause they fail to do the proper investigation. Have a solid foundation and youll be good. Electric Food is the best food otherwise your putting dead flesh in your system and are a walking cemetery.
You've got to be kidding. I have seen a lot of ridiculous claims about veganism before, but that it can cure AIDS? That's extremely offensive.
Recently nursed a man dying in if AIDS related PCP. Maybe we should have put him on a vegan diet and avoided the inevitable cardiac arrest.
I'll run it past the doctors for next time ...
