Like I said, chicken wings/drumsticks/thighs, pork/chicken necks, chicken/pig feet, pork ribs.... the possibilities are endless! If you are looking to transition to raw the bone will need to comprise 10% of her meals. You can balance this over a week or a month.. however you want. IF this is just supplemental, then one or two bones a week should be fine. As far as how long to feed, most of them can be eaten entirely in one sitting. Franklin and Maggie are larger Yorkies and eat most all of their bones within 15-20 minutes, depending on the bone. Smaller Yorkies might take longer. |
Thank you very much! This helps a lot! I plan on just using them as a treat around lunchtime. I usually let her chew on a bully stick for an hour or so and have read so many wonderful things about raw meat bones that I figured it'd be good to switch things up a bit. I'll have to check my grocery store out next time I go.
