Nik_B 3,790 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 In the past I've given my dog a meaty bone and let him work his way through it for a week or so, I figured that him gnawing away at it would be good for his teeth but that was when he was on kibble. How often do you give a new bone to them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giro 2,648 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Most information on raw feeding advices bone should make up 10% of the diet.. I feed carcasses (Chicken or duck) meat ratio could be about that.. I feed necks and Pork or lamb ribs several times a week with extra flesh or mince. I don't really give the big beef ribs or knuckle bones.. Unless there was a nice bit of meat attached.. Some folk give big bones randomly as a treat.. I cant be arsed with them laying about,cause kick off's in the yard and in the summer encourage fly s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,263 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Big knuckle joints wear down the front teeth as well, better ribs etc as part of the diet. If feeding dry then bones once or twice a week will keep the teeth in decent nick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 There's supposed to be bone in the mice I give him but I don't seem him doing that much chewing. Might give ribs a go then. Cheers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giro 2,648 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Bones are good.. Pigs trotters are good for teeth, small avian carcasses and pigs & sheep's heads.. You will get them big bones for nothing or pence.. But will have to pay bit more for other stuff.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
