I do not know. Works well with all meats. I don't know anything about making pet food.

It may do it,but I would not recommend putting bones through any meat grinder,it would be hard on any cutting knife.I hope this helps.Thanks Randy

I don't think it will work with chicken bones because the part that moves the meat to the blade is made of hard plastic.

If you keep the meat cold almost frozen it works better. Don't force the meat too much and it will do a great job. I use mine to grind chuck roast and pork butt.

I love my "grinder" & use it for a lot of things but never for bones, it was not made for that job. I have made mincemeat and cranberry sauce that is healthier then store-bought. each piece is uniform and same size last year, I was given a turkey. I stripped the meat off the bones and ground it. it was good but not a job that I will do again.

I have used it to mostly grind meat but it is very easy to clean and works well. I am sure it would work well with nuts.

I destroyed this meat grinder making dog/cat food. It will grind small bones but it wouldn't last.

Yes, it can grind chicken breast if cut in cubes. I have tried that once few days ago.

Hello, I primarily use it to grind chicken breasts, which grind into a nice, clean, burger consistency (has 2 sizes of dies for meat). The product works surprisingly well, is well made and solid, easy to clean, doesn't feel like "cheap" plastic. I just feed the chicken breasts into the hopper (big enough to accept full size breasts), and turn the handle, and it does its thing, hard to believe how much ground meat a single breast makes, you can have pounds of fresh ground chicken in no time. Great buy. Hope this helps.

Betty ,I have never tried that but I woul think no. Whatever is milled must be fairly soft .......tomatoe, boiled potatoes etc. I think you would be much happier with a small hand meat grinder. Here is the least expensive example I found. Starfrit 093347 Manual Meat Grinder

It will grind the tips from any animal nails as long as you get them used to the sound of the motor first. Our cats finally got used to the whirl of the motor after a few filing attempts.

It comes with a 7mm, which is the largest, and a 4.5mm for sausage grind. I run whole turkeys through mine, bones and all. If you plan on doing bones, you will need to get a spare 7mm. I put 13 turkeys down it on the same grinder plate, and it's still sharp. But I also bought a spare, because I was told meats like venison (no bones) wear out a plate pretty fast..................Terry...

If you broke them up into smaller pieces it might. I don't think it will grind them as fine as you'd want. It's not going to be powder.

Yes. But go easy. It's a bit poorly made so exessive force may strip the square bolt that holds the knife and plate onto the auger. It can grind chicken leg bones so it should be able to grind nuts with no problem.

I'm adding just chicken breast that I grind. My dog has pancreatitis and has to have ground/pureed low fat meat with digestive enzymes added.

I've noticed it pretty much pulverizes them. I have been grinding chicken thighs, I may rarely see some tiny bone chips but my cats go nuts for this meat, they fight over it.

This thing can grid almost anything you can get it to it. I have not ground chicken bones but it did grind some hard frozen beef. It is a work out.

This is mostly a meat grinder. I am afraid it would turn nuts into a pulverized state or even slight paste. Although, Weston All-Purpose Seed, Nut and Spice Grinder might serve the purpose.
