I have to say I'm scared to give chicken necks as my SBT swallowed the only one I've ever given him whole. I watched him like a hawk for days after that! Made me so nervous.

I also struggle with the Chicken Frame thing... Goes back to when I was a child and was constantly told that Chicken Bones aren't good for dogs. I'd really like to give him frames, but I'm worried part of it will get stuck I wont know how to help him!

Has anyone else overcome the fear?

I freaked when my boy swallowed a chicken neck whole so never fed again. I feed him frames though, in fact these were great to help him to chew (and he's a lab !). I give them to him all the time, cut the wishbone out but he loves them and I feel comfy with them - just the shape and size 'fits'.

I tried turkey necks the other day - they were quite small and I was a little nervous with those too, so I give him turkey drumsticks with skin removed.
