Bones - Bones can splinter and damage a dog's internal organs.
Have to disagree with this one 2 counts. I have a friend who lost a fit and healthy youngish chi through eating a bag of peanuts. She was a vets nurse too and it died from an overdoes of protein. I would like to add that she didn't feed the dog them intentionally - the chi knicked them all.

Although I don't feed this diet, the BARF diet requires raw bones, with the theory that raw bones don't splinter it is cooked ones which does.

Not my opinion just more facts which I have been made aware of.
