Bones are fine as long as they are enclosed in a blanket of soft meat. Make a meal out of it and toss your pup a chicken quarter, quail or a slab of pork ribs. Your puppy will love it, his teeth will be clean, and no harm done.  |
Oh see, and now here I would do the opposite! I would never give my boys chicken, quail, or pork bones because those DO break so easily and splinter off and could harm them! My boys have gotten cow femers and steak bones without any issues (though I see why they could crack teeth!)
Why is it that everything they like that help clean their teeth are dangerous?!?!?!?
