| I give my yorkie and chihuahua pork ribs for supper all the time. They get different proteins for breakfast. Right now I'm using Natures Variety raw. My yorkie Jack is now 10 yrs old and has been eating raw since I got him at 10 weeks old. Chi, Benny is 2 yrs old and has been eating raw since 10 weeks too. Also have a 13 yr old maltese Jilly, that has been on raw for 12 yrs now. Make sure your pork it's not enhanced. Shouldn't be over 100 mg of sodium per serving. Mary |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Yes, but not cooked ones as they're sharp and brittle.

| Bones Thank you Mary! Since Magellan is only about 7 pounds I wasn't sure if he would be able to digest ribs without having some gastrointestinal problems but looking at your pups, I know giving Gelly a rib or two every few weeks won't hurt him. I've only had larger dogs so the smaller pups have me questioning everything I do. |

| Mine do not really eat much of the bone. They get all the meat off and will nibble on the ends for a while. Then I take them away. Your welcome! Mary J |
