IV Ecosse 23 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hey, Just a quick question. Pups age = 8 weeks, current/starting diet is raw meet and dams milk I am carrying on with raw minced meats, brown bread, quail eggs and veg scraps. (no complete food) When do I start giving bones? Do I mince chicken wings and whole quail to start with or should I feed them whole?? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zandy01 3,575 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Just make sure they're RAW bones... NEVER give a dog cooked bones as that's when they splinter and cause problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boiled is fine ........ out of interest is there any advantage to boiling them rather than feeding them raw,does it soften them further, obviously iv never boiled them hence the question cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm always reading and learning on this forum, I didn't realise boiled bones were ok and wouldn't splinter... My whippet always gets them raw anyways Cheers Socks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bullx100% 681 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 so why boil them lolbecause if you haven't the freezer space to freeze them for 2 weeks to kill tape worm then boiling them will kill the tape worm cyst Quote Link to post Share on other sites
