QuoteI'm a bit confussed by something I read in Dr.Dressler's book and on his website about feeding cooked chicken necks. ??
We haven't done the RAW diet as mostly everything I have read said it's not a good idea to start that on a sick pup. But I have read up on raw and homecooking,( which is probabley an understatement as I look at the pile of new books on this sitting on my desk.)
I really liked Dr.Dresslers book and advise until I got to this cooked chicken neck part.
I thought that cooked bones where really dangerous for dogs to eat?
I cooked them up and ran them thru the food processer for quite a while and there seem to be these not so little sharp hard things that looked like bones to me. Tossed them in the garbage just to be on the safe side.
Any advise on this, as I've also read that this part is a very nutritious part of the chicken and economical too, ( I don't mean to feed only as a regular diet but just to add some variety).

Cooked bones are definitely dangerous to eat but when it comes to the turkey/chicken necks, Dressler advises pawrents to cook the liver and turkey or chicken necks separately, then process and strain separately. This will make it easy to pick out unprocessed chunks.
I'm thinking that maybe your processor wasn't on long enough, or the blades aren't sharpened enough to get the pieces really small?

OfflineJust wondering if a pressure cooker would work for cooking the chicken necks as they can pretty much disintegrate anything…

Good idea. I've never used a pressure cooker but that makes sense. You could cook up a large batch, portion it out and freeze.

OfflineI'm thinking that I would probably blow a whole in the kitchen ceiling if I got a pressure cooker. Maybe I'll forget the chicken necks for now or try giving them one as a treat raw, think that's OK.??
My Hubby's the pro chef, and no he doesn't do all the cooking at home. I've gotten pretty good at it myself after 21 yrs married to him, but have been known to burn things from time to time. So pretty sure a pressure cooker is not a good thing for me to own.

Yes raw chicken necks are great treats for most dogs. They're recommended for dogs who are just starting a raw diet because they're so easy to chew and digest. Turkey necks are another matter though, they are super hard, meaty and our Wyatt Ray can't eat them, they do a number on his gut. Many dogs don't have this reaction though.
