Bones and puppies My girlfriend had the butcher cut up some bones for Ruger -- 3 months old. Soon after I was finding a white/grey substance which he is either throwing up or pooping out -- not sure which yet. He did enjoy the bone, however. I heard someone say that bone marrow isn't good for puppies. Right now he seems fine, but does anyone know anything about this? Thanks. |
I'm pretty sure cooked bones aren't good for them b/c they can splinter, and I know I've heard bad things about regular bones, too, but I don't remember exactly what. I would suggest doing a search here on YT for bones. |
Butcher bones from the grocer are usually too large and hard for puppies to consume. They can be tooth breakers. If you want to exercise the jaws with chewing, I suggest bully sticks intead. bestbullysticks.com has good prices or Westbrooke here at YT sells them also. If you do choose to feed raw bones, feed easier to chew bones such as bone-in chicken breast or feed through a cornish hen cut up. The whitish "ashy" material you are seeing is stool from consuming the bone you are feeding. Too much bone can be constipating. I'd ditch the big marrow bones and do bullysticks or raw chicken bones wrapped in lots of meat. |
