If you feed dog food you can bet the same parts of the body are in your pet's food. She has been chewing bully sticks for 4 years now and has never broken a tooth despite someone's insistence that any dog who chews them will have broken teeth. She has never chewed ANYTHING with her front teeth anyway and no dog does.
Some people give their dogs thigh bones from the chicken. I am just not real comfortable feeding those either though others seem to have success doing so. Gracie is on a commercial raw diet that contains ground up bone so she gets the nutrition contained in the bone without getting to actually chew one. |
I have bully sticks too and trim off the gooey as it gets down....do you order yours online? I'm looking for oderless made in usa...
