Then I decided to go out on the front porch (concrete) so I didn't have the hold the bones but they got all dirty & ick from being chewed on the porch.  |
Well beef rib bones are not the best idea, they are generally seen as being recreactional as they are very hard and only the strongest and most experinced raw fed dogs would manage to actually consume them. You'd be better off going for softer ones such as a chicken, lamb or turkey rmb which they could chew on and then actually eat.
I either hand feed the rmb's or I let them eat them on a floor that can be washed afterwards, such as the kitchen floor. You could also let them eat them on a towel which could be washed afterwards
