Will Chicken Bones Hurt My Dog?

My sister’s Golden Retriever ate a whole chicken carcass last year. When she discovered him he was swollen beyond belief. She took him to the vet and his bowel was twisted and spleen was messed up somehow. They operated on him and removed the spleen. It was touch and go for awhile but the big dummy lived. We’ve always been on the safe side and not given our dogs chicken or fish bones. I personally wouldn’t give my dog table scraps anymore. We don’t have a dog right now, but if I did. Dogs get used to scraps and often won’t eat their regular food. Then what do you do if you don’t cook that night? I’ll give them a bone or two but not make a habit of it. We usually eat boneless chicken these days anyway. LOL
