Merricks said that the bones are suppose to be in there (they boil them so they're soft enough to eat and not do damage to the dog). Well I have taken the bones out every time I find one because they seem pretty hard to me. Merricks says the bones are suppose to basically crumble in your fingers.
So every morning I disect my Yorkies wet food taking all the bones out because even tho Merrick's says it's 100% safe I still do not feel comfortable with my yorkies eating bones.
How many of you let your Yorkies eat the bones in Merricks wet food and am I just over reacting?


I think I would be changing foods. I would not want to have to go through it everytime, and I would not want to take any chances with it either.
