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.

Another question actually which may seem silly.

In the grocery store, is there a specific place where these are located? Take in a Meijer for instance, would you go to where the meats usually are and specifically ask for them? I'm completely new to all of this so forgive me if this comes across as a stupid question.
