raw poll

We've been feeding raw for months now and never had any problems at all. Like everyone else has already said, just make sure you give the appropriate size. And with Bon, all his food has to be frozen or he will try to gulp even large pieces of meat.

Ok, so if I'm just starting out, can I give her just the boneless chicken, and give a big beef bone? just scrape off all the beef for now untill she gets used to chicken? Just so she has a bone to chew?

I know her teeth need cleaning, this rmb helps right?

I'm definitely not a pro here, but I wouldn't even bother giving boneless. With her size I'd just give her a small chicken (bone and all) or chicken quarters.
If your thinking like I was I thought they needed the bone all the time but this is not the case. The meat is the most important part of their diet.
If your thinking of feeding raw join raw chat. There are people with an abundance of knowledge on there and will tell you everything you need to know

I was thinking the bone might help clean her teeth, I dunno lol.

It is way easier to feed mostly Raw Meaty Bones, which is a bone (edible, which beef bones are not) covered in a good amount of meat. Preferably so that you can just barely feel the bone, such as in a chicken quarter. Much of the raw meaty bones I feed are from fowl - chicken, turkey, goose, & duck. Red meats (beef and lamb) are usually fed as a muscle meat meal. I feed pork pretty often as well, but the only pork RMB's I feed to speak of are ribs, shoulder and hock. I only use beef bones (soup bones) for recreational chewing, which is a few times a month at most, because they are not largely edible and too much gnawing on rec bones can be hard on the teeth.

Neither of my dogs have been sick due to Raw. Fozzie has actually never been sick, even though I definitely was not overly cautious about introducing new kinds of meat, and he went almost straight from kibble to Raw when I got him.
