Plain, unseasoned, skinless, boneless, cooked chicken is not toxic to dogs, as long as it's cooked. Feeding dogs raw chicken puts them at risk of salmonella or bacterial infections. Chicken skin and bones should be avoided, however. Chicken skin is full of fat, which can lead to digestive issues and even pancreatitis, and chicken bones are very brittle and if ingested, can lead to choking, fractured teeth, or gastrointestinal obstruction or perforation, especially if they splinter. Dogs should never eat chicken that was cooked with butter or oils or seasoned with salt, pepper, herbs, or spices. For dogs, this is a recipe for unpleasant digestive upset at best, and pancreatitis at worst. Dogs can eat bite-size pieces of plain, unseasoned, skinless, boneless, cooked chicken, but should avoid chicken bones.
Plain, unseasoned, skinless, boneless, cooked turkey is not toxic to dogs. Turkey skin and bones should be avoided, however. Turkey skin is full of fat, which can lead to digestive issues and even pancreatitis, and turkey bones are very brittle and if ingested, can lead to choking, fractured teeth, or gastrointestinal obstruction or perforation, especially if they splinter. Dogs also should never eat holiday turkey or any turkey cooked with butter or oils or seasoned with salt, pepper, herbs, or spices. For dogs, this is a recipe for unpleasant digestive upset at best, and pancreatitis at worst. Dogs can eat bite-size pieces of plain, unseasoned, skinless, boneless, cooked turkey, but should avoid turkey bones.
