Cooked chicken bones definitely, but I'm not convinced that fried cow bones are dangerous.
Maybe every dog I've owned has been lucky? 🤔
Perhaps someone with too much time on their hands could compare how cooked/uncooked bones break/shatter/splinter when forcibly introduced to a lump hammer, or similar. That should give a fairly good representation as to how they would fare against the teeth of one of our canine friends.

Just thinking out loud don'tcha know.

Depends on the age of the victim, decalcification….. that kind of thing.

My vet father wasn’t worried about big cooked bones like lamb legs or shoulder blades but never lamb chops and poultry. Beef bones all ok. The risk is all in the mouth and throat from shards. In the stomach it’s mush in no time.

You just don’t see white dog poo with the same frequency of old! It’s the owners not the dogs!

There was a time when I'd have had to hide its corpse. Then help the neighbours put "Missing Cat" signs on all the local lampposts.
Lilly has definitely mellowed towards cats in her old age 🙂
I still nearly posted that photo in the "WTF Moments" thread 🙄 😉

My dog used to love cauliflower cheese and chips. Ex wife always made sure that some was left over for her. Strangely, she (the dog!) also liked vinegar on her chips (well, it didn't put her off!) when she got the chance to nick some! And no, she wasn't a bloody labrador!!

Every dog I've had goes nuts for prawn crackers.

This one especially, we used to have to take him with us to the Chinese, and he'd sit with his head between the front two car seats eating prawn crackers on the way home.
