Raw bones are fine, they are soft, pliable and perfectly safe. The dog simply crunches them up and swallows them.
Make sure they are meaty, all the ones I recommended are. Beef bones and the leg bones of large animals are recreactional and should not be consumed (although ok to just be chewed).
Never buy bones from pet shops, they are all cooked and incredibly dangerous, they should not be allowed to sell them. |
Wow. What good info. I did not know this and would be nervous to give Zoe chicken bones but raw would be fine huh? Now, I don't feed her a raw diet but would it be good for her to give her say a raw chicken leg on the bone as a treat or does it take awhile for her system to be able to tolerate it? I heard it is much better for their teeth as well to eat raw just not sure I can do it? And what else do you feed to supplement besides meat? And how come you don't have to worry about salmonella? Just curious...
