sambu13 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I know this has been done to death but..... I gave my girlfriends dogs a bone each today, the big dalmation got a huge knuckle and the two young ones got a rib each (beef) one of the pups ate hers completly! is this ok, i though it was but some people disagree!

Lloyd90 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Depends what bones and also if they've been cooked or not. Cooked bones tend to splinter n can cause damage Uncooked should be fine I think chicken bones are bad ones, not sure about beef n such. Don't see why swallowing it hole would do damage, if the dog can digest the pieces why cant it digest the whole thing ? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lone wolf Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 all my dogs get raw bones from the ealiest age never had a problem,gives them something to chew rather than thier kennel and a knuckle bone for pups is very good bringing on thier teeth,regards jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklab Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Bones are fine for dogs, but they must be raw, Large weight bearing bones are good to clean and strengthen teeth, smaller meaty bones & chicken carcases are good for every day feeding. I feed all my dogs & pupies on BARF diet. my pups were fed raw chicken carcases at five weeks old & they loved them.

How much does it cost ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklab Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I get my chicken carcases from a whole sale butcher, they remove the legs & breast & I get the rest, I buy them in bulk around 80 - 100 kilos a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
