Maybe I could have just let her have a little snack...except I don't want her stealing food off the table. I'm interested in what types of bones are okay. Also, Sugar takes her food out of her dish & carries it into the living room. How do you prevent this? I don't want raw meat on my carpet...ugh. I am interested though. I'm going to find some time to read some of these articles. Oh, is there any breed of dog that shouldn't be fed the RAW diet? Thanks & good luck w/ the switch! |
Dogs should not eat cooked chicken bones (or any cooked bones for that matter), those are the ones that are dangerous, raw chicken bones are soft, pliable and are simply crunched up and eaten.
All raw bones are fine apart from beef bones (these are too hard to be consumed), you do of course have to taylor which raw meaty bones you feed to the particular dog, with reference to wether they like to scarf their food down and how big they are.
You can simply limit where they have to eat, for example shut the kitchen door so that she cannot carry it onto the carpet. I let my dogs eat them on the floors that can be mopped afterwards. You could also hand feed the rmb (and then wash your hands!) so that it doesn't get on the floor at all.
