Yes I can give you a suggestion. I now buy white beef bones.
Already cleaned from my pet store. They come in different sizes
most of the time they are too big for Bud's mouth. When I see
the smaller ones I just buy them and stick them away. He now
chews on them when he gets the urge daily. He was an extremely
aggressive chewer, hence all the nylabones. Please get these
natural bones for your dog.
Buddy woke me up at 2oam vomiting blood and had black loose
stools everywhere. I rushed him to the ER and four days later
he was ok to come home. It could not be proven 100% that it was
the nylabones but there was gritt in his lower intestine and the
bleeding was coming from there. You don't need to be a brain
surgeon to put the two together. The vet said a good possibility
it was the bones. Like I said he was an aggressive chewer and
went through those bones like a buzzsaw and I never thought
about it, just took them away when they became too small and
replaced it. After that I read the back of the label on one
and when I saw what it said I was pissed! But they did warm me
I just did not read it until after the fact.

Interesting about the white bones. I did get my butcher to cut Lucy some soup bone circles but hesitate to give her the marrow inside. Do you think it would be okay to take out the marrow, clean the bone and give it to her? It's raw.

Thank you for your help!

Yes. As long as the bone is big enough not to go down her throat.
That is perfect.
