A few raw feeders do this because they're afraid of any damages caused by the bones. The dog still recieves the nutrients it needs but alot of people don't do this because the bones keep the teeth extremely nice and white.

Ok, thank you so much for the response! I'm becoming more comfortable with certain things. But, honestly, I am a little nervous about the raw bones (like the turkey ones). I'm not saying I disagree with it, I'm just nervous. It's the one old thought I'm having trouble shaking. Here's my question, now. wouldn't the chewing of the beef bones give the same effect of nice and white teeth? And, if I supplied the puppy with ground up turkey/chicken bones, they'd be getting the nutrients from them, minus the possible danger. Because I want him to have the nutrients, the white teeth, and, the mental stimulation and physical excerise of chewing on bones. Couldn't I get all of that by giving raw beefy bones and ground turkey/chicken ones? And, yeah, I do ask tons of questions.
