What bones are ok for dogs to have?

Answer 1

Only feed your dog raw bones if they know how to eat bones. A dog who eats kibble should not be fed bones, unless the owner has the time to supervise the dog - sometimes it is necessary to hold onto a meaty bone at one end to prevent the dog trying to swallow the food whole. Alternatively, if it is a larger dog, feed half or a whole raw chicken so it cannot gulp down the smaller bones.

Dogs can be fed on a raw diet and eat uncooked bones on a regular basis. Dogs like these are taught or learn to pulverize bones while CHEWING! In fact, it IS RECOMMENDED that dogs on a raw diet consume 10% BONE in their diet.

Edit: The first sentence, above, I think, is accurate. Offering raw-hide, bone-shaped, rawhide chews (w/o filler) can also help clean teeth. DO NOT offer chicken, pork, or any other bone that splinters. Sooner or later you're going to have to extract one (which requires some medical expertise and sometimes instruments). As a general rule, don't "through the dog a bone". We've an excellent trainer at the kennel that lost a finger to that venture.

Answer 2

Safe bones a dog can be given are large cow bones such as shin bones and knuckle bones. You can ask your butcher to cut Marrow bones to any length you like. Throw them in a bag in the freezer and give one to your dog when the bone is frozen (he'll find it especially interesting that way). In addition to the extra hardness, which helps clean teeth and massage gums, he'll be occupied for hours as he gnaws away on the bone. Added bonus: marrow bones happen to be one of the least expensive types you can buy for your dog. Natural bones should be uncooked, as cooking can make bones brittle.

Choose a sturdy bone based on the size and chewing ability of your dog. Supervise chew time, throw away bones that have become small enough to be swallowed.

Nylon bones (Nylabone,and Boodabones) that you can get at a pet store are known for their durability, and wear slowly so that the dog does not ingest too much nylon at once. Pieces of nylon are not sharp so if ingested there is very little chance of bowel perforation, and pass right through your dog.

The best type of bone to give to dogs are antlers. These antlers are the safest to chew because it is easily digested and will not break off in large pieces like rawhides.
