When I gave him one I would watch him with it and when it got to the end I would throw the bone part out..... Some people say there are long thin bone fragments all throughout the middle of it.... I have only seen the one toward the end of it... it is usually about 1 1/2 - 2 inches long.
I was then told that they were very "High" in Fat and once I heard that I have never given another one since.
I just looked it up:
Guaranteed Analysis
Crude Protein (Min.) 50.00%
Crude Fat (Min.) 18.00%
Crude Fiber (Max.) 9.00%
Moisture (Max.) 5.00% |
I was always under the impression that it was a lower in fat treat compared to their other products!
As for the bone, all of ours had the bone in it. Often times you could see it sticking out the wide end. Uni loved to pull the bone out in one piece. Once she pulled it out, then I threw it away.
