Dogs don't often die while chewing on the bone. Remember, dogs are not like us, their throat doesn't close off while they're eating, so if something is stuck in their throat they can still breathe. What happens is that it gets stuck there and that causes complications like infection and the dog will die from that. Our vet says he pulls a chicken bone out of a dog's throat about once a month. That means that statistically your dog can probably eat chicken bones his whole life and never get one stuck. It's just a matter of risk analysis, something Americans are notoriously poor at.We are not supposed to give chickenbones to our best friend, well, because they have the ability of dying in the process of eating it. I never understood that. Here is my problem: Dogs are predators (well, domesticated ones) so are dogs the only ones that can die when eating chickenbones?
As I said, they don't die "suddenly" so you might not realize what the ultimate cause of death is. BTW, dogs are wolves (as recently discovered by DNA analysis) and coyotes and jackals are the same genus (Canis). Foxes areI am not aware of any reports when foxes or wolves or jackals died while eating chicken. It is possible that they do die too and humankind just accidentally overlooked that fact.
That's a question we'll never be able to answer. It's just as plausible that dogs were smarter and realized that forming the world's first voluntary multi-species community would work to the advantage of both species.There is a good deal of difference between a typical domesticated dog and the predatory, wild wolves that you are familiar with. It’s believed that in the process if the domesticated dog’s evolution, certain feral breeds would scavenge off of human hunting remains, within such things as garbage lots. However, since this passive act of scavenging did not require the same intelligence and capabilities that the stronger wild dogs possessed, the less intelligent strains would live in this manner and form mutual alliances with human beings; such is a common theory of the domesticated dog’s development.
...BTW, we cook our chickens in pressure cookers and then toss the whole thing into the food processor. The bones have been softened and it grinds up everything together. That way the dogs get all that nice calcium. We mix it with rice, pumpkin, fish oil, a vitamin powder, and glucosamine chondroitin. Homemade dog food, saves about 75% over the premium brands and is far more nutritious and safe than the cheap stuff. (We have 13 dogs so it matters.)....
I'm stunned. Your dogs eat better than some Americans.
Of course! He cares more for his dogs than he does for those other Americans. What more is there to say?
