If Oliver is close to adult size and weight, you should aim for less than a total of 10%. You could start at about 5% and if you notice he's slimming down, increase by 1% at a time. All dogs are different so use your dogs' body shapes to judge and adjust amounts accordingly.

You can start with some de-boned chicken if you're concerned about bones and add perhaps a chicken neck (you can hammer it down with a mallet) and a tiny bit of organ such as heart, liver, giblets. Chicken breast on the bone (these bones are very soft) is another good meal to start with. You can also feed whole frozen sardines if your dogs like them.
