A bare raw bone is not good for your dog. It should always have a good bit of meat on it. Depending on the size of your dog, a chicken drumstick would be good or if the dog is real small even a chicken wing.
I wouldn't regularly feed one of these items with a meal of kibble. But just to feed one occasionally as a treat, there should be no harm done.
Hehe, I just noticed the word "husky" in your nick. If your dog is a full grown husky, a drumstick would be too small. He could likely swallow it whole and that is not what you are after. Something larger like a chicke back or maybe a partial slab of beef ribs.
EDITED TO ADD: You could even feed something like a chicken leg quarter for a meal a few times during the week. There are just all kinds of options other than feeding raw meat/bone along with a kibble meal.
The reason I ask is, a friend of mine that feeds raw said it would be fine to give her the occasional raw meat/bone.
My friend gave my sibe a chicken back and my sibe threw it up within 10 minutes. She wouldnt go near it. Should I keep trying? I wasn't sure what to make of it...then I remembered when I read on multiple posts that its bad to feed a kibble dog raw. She just looooves bones, so I figured one every now and then wouldnt be bad...but wanted to see why she'd throw it up and if I did anything wrong.
Bare bones of anything are not good to feed. All are not dangerous, its just not good to feed them. That doesn't mean I don't occasionally give the reminants of the cats leftover bones to my dogs but that is just after the dogs have finished a meal.
ANY kind of weight bearing bones of large animals CAN be dangerous. They can chip, crack, break, cause slab fractures to your dogs teeth because of denseness. Chewing on these dense bones is akin to rubbing sandpaper over their teeth.
