Yes they can indeed splinter and kill a dog. Kibble can kill a dog. Toys can kill a dog. There are always chances. I don't think anything is really 100% dog proof. The vet didn't give it to us but he assisted me in making the decision. A few other pet talkers also feed the raw diet. The raw diet doesn't consist of only bones. There's also veggies, organ meats and supplements (for those who choose to supplement). I don't feed this diet anymore though. My boys are on a staple diet of chicken soup for the dog lover's soul with some beef bones for teeth (less likely to splinter). Whether poultry bones are bad for dogs or not, that could get into an extremely long and hefty debate. So I'll just end it by saying, let's agree to disagree.
