There has been a movement in recent years to feed household pets what they would eat in nature. Several companies make grain-free food and even some make raw food for cats and dogs. Raw chicken theoretically isn't bad for your German shephard...as long as it's Salmonella free. That's not a given when you buy it from the grocery store. It's assumed you will cook it past a given temperature where Salmonella couldn't survive.

If you check the FDA or USDA websites for recalls you will see that one very large manufacturer of dog and cat food had a large recall. The food being produced was somehow contaminated by Salmonella. Most of what I read indicated that the PEOPLE feeding their dogs became infected. I'm not certain if any animals became ill or died.

If you want to feed your animal raw chicken you might look into some of the companies making raw foods. They are usually supplemented with ground bone (because if your dog ate a chicken the bones would be eaten as well), vitamins and minerals.
