Im going to start feeding raw tomorrow and want to know if i need to cut up the chicken quarters or leave them whole...same with the turkey necks...the turkey necks seem pretty long so i dont want her to choke...

The bigger the RMB the less chance of the dog trying to swallow it whole and the more chewing they will do.

My puppy is 4 months old. So for the first couple days I had to break them into two pieces. Other than that I left them as they are. Now she eats them whole. It just took a few times for her to figure it out. Hope this helps.

smash them with a hammer if you are concerned about the bones.
