You have to get some! Bones really are a wonderful way of cleaning those K9 pearlies the natural way all while relieving boredom. I stopped giving beef bones since Buzz broke a molar on one and am now giving softer bones such as turkey and duck necks.
We do some pretty hefty chewing and gnawing, but Mom prefers the harder things for our teeth. Any bones are better than no bones. We love them both. I know you can easily get these were we live, sure wish my mom would let us try one, they look so yummy!
Love Dolly. Hey Emma, do you chew these up until you swallow and eat them? Or does your mom take them away once you chew them down a bit? Am I being paranoid? Mom is always around when we have them just in case, but we would not recommend a dog breaking them up and swallowing them. I would try one and see how they do with it. If they break off a piece then I would take it away, but ours last seemingly forever.
Mom saves them for us to just chew on empty sometimes and she also fills them with wet food, or a fun mixture like our salmon treats. Since the bones come from those huge cows, they should be strong, but as with everything some might not be as strong as others.
Give them a try, supervised. We get ours in the evening when Mom wants to watch a few hours of TV, so she can keep an eye on us. Our dogs are in the aggressive chewer category so they have to miss out. I do know of a couple of dogs that needed extensive dental work attributed to these bones.
I guess we feel there is a risk with pretty much everything. We love to chew, but are not real aggressive, so they work well for us. Bailie also loves antlers which are also a dental hazard. One day one of us might need dental work because of them, but we feel the benefits outweigh the risks and we only get them times a week for a limited time.
People eat popcorn which is a risk. My mom eats it 1 to 2 times a year and broke a tooth doing it 2 weeks ago. So is life! She will gnaw on it anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. Her feeding area is the laundry room where I have recycled rubber mats which are easy to clean for the mess that is sometimes created from the blood and marrow.
When I started her on marrow bones, in addition to dropping some unwanted weight, her gums got a lot healthier right away. The weight loss was because I replaced the horrible canned food I was mixing with her dry food for breakfast with the marrow. For dinner she gets pulled chicken mixed with dry food. How soon can a pup have raw marrow? We have a 4 month old who would love to chew and stay busy! But worried it might upset her tummy… our almost 2 year old pup loves them!
Is she ready? Where do your pups eat these bones? Do you clean them first? Hi, I absolutely love reading these cute and informative comments. I have a 13 yr old yorkie, can I give her raw beef marrow bone? Track My Blog via Email.
Like this: Like Loading Assume Squirrel Position ». That is where the advantages end. The disadvantages of raw bones are very important to take into consideration because they can easily lead to life-threatening illness—both for the dog and for the people handling the raw bones.
First and foremost, raw bones carry a significant food safety hazard. Dangerous bacteria like E. Anywhere the bones touch can become contaminated. This is especially risky for the elderly, immunocompromised individuals, and young children who are more likely to be down on the floor where dogs are, and less diligent about hand washing and not putting things in their mouths.
Dogs don't have any special properties of their gut to protect them from these bacteria, they are just as at risk as we are. Second, raw marrow bones have the bone marrow still present and bone marrow is extremely fatty. High-fat foods are not typically part of a dog's normal diet, so their digestive system can be easily overwhelmed, ultimately resulting in inflammation of the pancreas, called pancreatitis. Pancreatitis can cause a range of symptoms including severe vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and can even be fatal in some cases.
Lastly, while a dog's teeth seem much more substantial than our own—and in some ways, they are—they actually have significantly less of the extremely hard outer enamel layer compared to human teeth. That thin layer of enamel, combined with their incredible jaw strength and desire to chew on things, can easily lead to broken teeth.
