 Giving Bones as Chew Treats?
I finally got brave enough to give my girl a real bone--she loved it, of course! But now I have questions before I continue. I gave her a marrow bone that the butcher sliced into about 1 inch thick piece, and I dug all the marrow out and gave just the bone to her. Do I need to freeze the bone first like I've read that you need to for raw meat? How long do I let her chew? I threw it away when she was done--about 2 hours, but could I have rinsed it and refridgerated it for another chew session? (I wouldn't reuse more than twice). How many times a week do you give bones-I am interested in keeping her teeth clean, mainly. Are marrow bones okay to keep giving, they are all I was able to find around me, and in only one store would the butcher cut it down to Yorkie size for me, so if marrow bones aren't good, I am out of luck! |
