I butcher my own chickens, rabbits, goats, ducks & turkeys. My question is the absolutely freshly cut from the carcass & handed to the dogs a safer choice than previously refrigerated/frozen, week old bone? I know from cutting them that they are softer but am still paranoid about slivers.

My 1 year old chocolate lab just swallowed whole a round pork chop bone from a baked pork chop. He never chewed it, just gulped it down. Will it hurt him?

i have a female english collie from local dairy farm at the end of the garden, and another looks like a 3/4 doberman/beauceron, calm cool temperament they are both wonderful characters full of energy and mountain walks nearly every day depending on the weather we live in the pyrenees.

the collie is only interested in bones which she is given as her evening meal everyday, will not touch biscuits, until she
has eaten the bone, sold at the local supermarket. and if possible would certainly take another bone, the amount of biscuits is a handful no more from my point of view enough for her size, her point of view is certainly different. she has been spayed.
Now the male who has a short coat will not eat bones regularly, his first interest is biscuits and occasionally a bone depending mostly on the weather.

Our 4 year old Lab had had a tooth extracted the vets say from a bone..It was cracked….She has only ever been given raw neck bones….so is now only on carrots but she did love to have a bone and am very undecided…..Our previous Lab was a Guide Dog Puppy raised on a raw diet back then…..and she was on it her whole life of almost 16 years…….This Lab is on the same but we cheat and buy leading Raw…but have just pulled out our Guide Dog book and may start to do some of our own again…..They have all had porridge as a meal most days with additives…..

Thank you for this article. We have been giving our 18 month lab buffalo knuckles or mediun to large femur pieces about 8 inches long and quite thick. All raw and frozen when we purchase them. Would these still be okay? She is a hard chewers so I have worried about cracked teeth.

I was taught ever since a young boy to never feed pork,chicken any small bones to Dogs.
Also never feed a Hunting Dog any meat from a bird, we have thrown out all pork rib bones both raw and cooked for fear of splintering and puncturing the stomach.
Our neighbour would heat up knuckle bones every morning for our Lab.( who went home at 13 years) and throw them over the fence, our young Lab, Charlie, finds these old bones around the acreage and chews on them.
Thank you for the article I now feel that uncooked bones are safe.
