robin hood 109 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 any bone as long as its not cooked, too much bone and they will struggle to pass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,263 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Weight bearing bones can be a problem, ie thigh bones etc of mammals. I'd start them on stuff like lamb ribs, chicken wings and build up as they get used to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,174 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Don't feed more than 30-40% bone as part of the total food intake. If the dog craps white hard marbles or yelps when its crapping you are giving too much bone. As above, chicken carcases, lamb ribs are best. Forget leg bones: they can splinter and even break a dog's teeth.Lamb necks are OK for dogs with really strong jaws, but awkward to crunch up due to the shape of the vertebrae. Also make sure the dog gets enough fibre in its diet: that is as important as the meat and bone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
