Katie (and Zara the Husky) Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hi, I've noticed a lot of husky owners here say they feed their husky chicken wings. Our husky is 6 months old. We feed her mainly chicken and beef mince, tuna or lamb mixed with a small portion of rice and veggies. We also give her dried dog food/kibble if she is still hungry after a meal. I've been hesitant to feed her chicken wings because of the bones. At her age would she be ok, and do you remove any of the bones before feeding your dog?

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 my boy was having chicken wings from as young as 8 weeks old ,bones and all , because they are not cooked the bones are soft so wont be brittle and sharp if broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie (and Zara the Husky) Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Excellent, will definitely add them into her diet. We want to feed her fresh meats but it can get expensive. Chicken wings are a great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyka&Diva Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) my girls started on them at 8 and 9 weeks just remember to get your ratios right for raw feeding as chicken wings have quite a high bone content xx Edited April 24, 2013 by Leyka&Diva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 We give Kodiak chicken wings as a treat, but only started giving him in the last month or so..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I thought about giving mine some chicken wings as a treat too. Maybe just a few a week though. I would need to give it to them outside though because I can imagine that Nikko would take his and eat it on the carpet. I don't want raw chicken juice all over my carpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Best thing you can give your dawgs. RAW uncooked. they will lurve you for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devildust76 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 As the OH said, Kodiak loves his wings but will sometimes fling them about for a few minutes before making the 'kill' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Yeah, will def. need to give it to them one at a time outside! Kodiak still gets into fights with the other 2 when there are toys involved. I don't want to know what would happen with a chicken wing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give raw and kibble at the same time......they digest at different rates. Your post doesn't say if the meats are raw, just giving you a heads up if you change over to raw.

Do you think that would mess with their digestion? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katie (and Zara the Husky) Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yes I feed Zara raw, except for the canned tuna as its already cooked. We usually wait an hour after feeding her and if she's still wandering back to her bowl and nosing it we know she is hungry, so we throw some kibble across the yard for her to Hoover up. Do you think thats ok? It only seems to happen once every couple of weeks when she's on a growth spurt. Ps: she is LOVING the chicken wings. We're restricting her to two meals of chicken wings per week (2-3 chicken wings per meal depending on their size). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austinville Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Ryn gets raw chicken in the a.m. and kibble in the p.m. Because we are trying to get her weight down, she doesn't get much kibble and that leaves her 'very hungry' (just ask her and she'll tell you! LOL) So we supplement with veggies. Her favorites are asparagus, green beans, cauliflower, and the occasional carrot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Thats good to know! When I went shopping the wings were really expensive, but I could have gotten thighs for pretty cheap. I might try those. Does anyone know how long they are good in the fridge for? I always freeze my meat so it doesn't go bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how long they are good in the fridge for? I always freeze my meat so it doesn't go bad. I'd only give them about a day or so in the fridge. I always freeze them and even give them frozen sometimes Thighs are better as they are bigger so less risk of them swallowing whole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
