Giselle gave you some great information on the BARF diet and why feeding cooked chicken bones is bad. Dusty suffers from allergies and a lot of people swear by raw as a fix for food allergies. For a lot of dogs it works. However, it turned out Dusty's allergies are from environmental allergens and not food related at all. So for convienence, I went back to a high quality kibble. Feeding raw takes more time and planning.

Anyway, about the bones... Raw beef and Buffalo bones (with a little meat on them for a special treat) will be very helpful in your big boy's desire to chew as they are very hard and do not spliter. Some pet stores that sell raw food carry them or you can always get a big knuckle soup bone at the local grocery store.
