Maybe. Cooked bones can splinter and cause severe internal damage to dogs. Chicken bones from table scraps are absolutely off-limits, along with any other cooked bones. Raw bones pose potential risks, and should only be consumed under careful observation.
Dogs may enjoy consuming chicken necks or larger bones. Their strong stomach acid helps break the bones down, and kill potential bacteria.
Dogs should only eat unseasoned chicken bones under supervision, on a surface that can easily be cleaned (like linoleum or tile).
