Dog pooped undigested raw chicken bone and organs. Is this normal?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 30 days old | 56 lbs

I am feeding my dog raw today I noticed he pooped out about a half piece of chicken bone hole and a couple pieces of whole chicken heart and liver looked undigested. Why would that happen and not be at least somewhat digested??

Bones are not very digestible and organs with the membrane capsule on them are difficult to digest also. I recommend chopping up the bones and organs into small pieces to make them more digestible. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Harley.
