First is the chicken bones which they grind to be fed to the dogs. I have consulted this with our vet and she admitted that chicken bones are nutritious and delicious to dogs especially the bones of fried chicken. However, the caveat would depend on the grinder for chicken bones are dangerous and fatal particularly to puppies. When not fully ground, the small chicken bones can harm the throat that's why it is not advisable if you don't have a good grinder.
About the raw chicken meat, it was advocated by the shih tzu club here where some friends are members. Those friends even posted their photos and videos on Facebook, seemingly proud that they are feeding their dogs a very healthy food... raw chicken meat. But it didn't take long before they realized that raw meat would cause a bad odor breath of the dogs. And then an article came out that raw meat is conducive to bacteria and other organisms. So there, they went back to the traditional dog food and cooked food.
