Chicken and fish bones could cause trouble because they easily splinter. Beef, pig, sheep etc. are usually safe.

Chicken bones are okay if they are raw. Never feed them cooked chicken bones or any cooked bones.
My dogs eat raw turkey necks, raw chicken backs and raw chicken wings that I get from my local butcher. They get lamb and rabbit two as a treat.
They also eat raw veggies, eggs, cottage cheese, fuits and canned salmon.
They get fema bones on Saturdays. They also get chicken and beef liver a few times a month.
They have to eat cooked potatoes, including sweet potatoes and yams as they are not good for them to eat them raw.
Also, grapes, avocados and macadamia nuts, dark chocolate, coco and the sweetener Xytitol can be fatal to dogs and cats.

We feed chicken all the time but you're right, we don't feed fish bones. They don't really like fish anyway. We don't feed turkey bones. They love ox tails which are mostly cartilage and our local Whole Foods market sells wonderful marrow bones. Lamb shank is good but a bit pricey.

Dogs can safely eat raw bones. It is cooked bones they should never have. If your dog gulps food it is recommended that the food be cut up in smaller portions to avoid choking. Our dogs eat raw chicken backs and necks. They also get raw fish fillets. Never any choking problems but they are black mouth curs. Smaller dogs might need to be watched closely and have their portions sized to their abilities.
