Also, if we push out the marrow will it still clean their teeth or is the marrow what cleans them?? Secondly, do they just chew on the bone and nothing happen or do they actually chew it up and eat it like a bully stick or something?
Ive got to start doing something to avoid having to take Reeses to have his teeth cleaned at the vet. His teeth dont look bad and I want to keep it that way and hopefully make them even better looking!! Lol. Thanks!! |
I have researched all over and found that you should freeze the bone before giving it to your dog because it kills certain bacteria.
The bone is cleaning the teeth. I personally dont give Maxi bone with the marrow in it. I completely take it out and wash it and clean even the outside of the bone so there is no meat on it. Maxi doesnt eat raw at all so I thought it would be the best to completely clean it out.
They chew and nothing happens to the bone. Its pretty thick and the only thing you can see is little lines on it as if the dog was bitting the bone.
