My phone somehow posted before I was done..

If giving bones feels too scary, I wouldn't give them...it wouldn't be worth it if you're not comfortable. I give my babies NON-consumable raw bones to chew, but I no longer ever give consumables. This is pretty much the opposite of what PMR feeders suggest. After experiencing some very scary choking incidents, I chose to no longer feed RMBs (raw meaty bones). I now get bison back bones from Whole Foods, cut to the size I like - and they're not consumable. They work wonders on their teeth though! |
How big do you have them cut? I get over paranoid and always get things that are too big for her and then she can't eat them. I am not sure how big your babies are, but Sophie is 4.5lbs. Thanks for your suggestion though, we are likely going to Whole Foods this weekend anyway so I will check them out.
After I posted this I decided that we are going to go back to premade raw. I know people still think it isn't the greatest, but maybe after awhile I will try this again. I haven't slept all night watching her and the little princess has been snoring away all night and now she is playing with one of our cats.
I should have mentioned in the original post that yes, the bone is on the floor and not on a plate or mat or anything. There is a large dinner plate off to the side. She is just hard to get a picture off, so when she took it off of the plate my husband told her to drop it and I took a picture. She definitely didn't eat it on the carpet! It was her first time, she is still learning -she has been eating the raw patties and they stay in the bowl when she eats them. The concern with her beard...if you are concerned, she was due for a bath anyway and her face and paws were washed thoroughly.
We tried to done the prey model and I don't think I can handle it. She loved it, but I definitely don't think I am ready for it...so back to patties we go!
