I will try to post a pic or two in my album of the bones. I can't seem to figure out how to do do a link today. |
I also feed prey model raw. I looked at the pics in your album. Those are pretty big chunks of bone. You picked those out of the patties? While I don't think they would harm a dog, they are large pieces of bone for a pre-made. I have used Primal as well as Nature's Variety and also Stella and Chewy's (all pre-made frozen raw) and NONE of them have those big shards of bone. I would not feel real comfortable feeding a pre-made that had that amount of bone chunks in it.
That being said, I would be VERY comfortable feeding a cornish hen in parts or even a chicken wing to a small dog. The dog can crunch the bones up with no problem. I would be concerned with a dog just swallowing the bone fragments in the patties.
Also, that amount of bone is going to be over 10% most likely and that's too much bone. Too much bone can cause blockages in severe cases and constipation in most cases. The optimum raw diet is MOSTLY meat, a little bit of bone and just a tiny bit of organs. I think the pre-made supplier you are using is cutting corners by adding a lot of bone to bulk up their product. I think you'd be better off buying a cornish hen at the grocery store and whacking it up into pieces and feeding that instead. Maybe feed some meat only meals in between bone-in meals to keep the ratio at 80% meat, 10% bone and 10% organs.
