Chicken necks

[Willow's Mom]

My six month old is big enough to enjoy a chicken neck now. She didn't seem to have any litter box issues afterwards. Is it safe to give her one every week as a treat now? S

Once a week should be fine. That’s great that she will eat it so young. I would still make sure to monitor her closely though while chewing since she’s so young. But they get a hang of it quickly.

Chicken necks are great starters. The bones are softer, but still enough of a challenge to build up the jaw muscles and strengthen the gums around the teeth. Gizzards and chicken ribs (the whole rack) are also great for developing those chomping skills.

Sorry to jump in but I’m curious, do you cook these parts or feed them raw?

 

[Azazel]

Bones should always be fed raw. Cooked bones can splinter and harm cats.

Thank you! I thought I’d heard as much but wanted to make sure.
