I'm with TP. Make her day.

 

[BearCat204]

Thanks......just don't want to kill her or something lol

I've always been told to never give dogs cooked bones of any kind.

Same. They splinter at a higher rate.

 

[bignewt]

Yeah bones no bueno.

 

[J-P]

I'll add my vote to the no bueno column. My vet says why even take the chance of a bone splintering or damaging the intestinal tract. Nylabones and milk bones only. Oh, and rawhide bones to make their day.

This.

I hold the pork rib bone (or whatever) for my dog for a minute or so. Let her tear some meat off and get a taste, but I'm too paranoid to just hand her a bone. Even a thick one, and she's a 15 lb dog

 

[YankeeVol]

I’d vote in the no here as well.

 

[Obsessed]

Agreed. Because dogs don’t eat bones in the wild.

 

[SaluteToTheHill]

They don't cook them in the wild... I give my dogs the large raw femur bones but never cooked bones of any kind.

I've given dogs table bones for 30 years and haven't had an issue yet.

That's good, hope you never do.

Whats their life span?

 

[Behr]

Do you need to know what breed they were and what the cause of death was? English Setter lived 16 years, died with a gunshot wound. German Shepherd lived 11 years, got hit by a car. They both ate all kinds of bones, including pond fish, frog, duck, chicken, possum, groundhog, field mice and some I don't even know.

Thanks for all the input. Just bought a bunch of bully sticks instead lol.

Keep tennis balls away from them too, they like to try to fit more than one in their mouth at a time and it could dislocate their jaws.

Those are my dog's favorite toys, but I don't leave them in the floor for her.

But, like every other GSD, even though it's on the shelf where she can't get to it, it still is HERS!

I use a pic of Behr in the pool with 3 in his mouth as an avatar sometimes, he tried so hard to get the 4th many times but just couldn't. Probably had something to do with bones.

You're so *******ned ridiculous.

Yeah that's cool I just got my info from several veterinarians, what do they know.

 

[YankeeVol]

Penny is a little a**hole 🤣

 

[J-P]

Agreed. Because dogs don’t eat bones in the wild.

And some die in the wild from injuries to their digestive tract from things they ate... not to mention from mange, parvo, starvation and any number of other causes. The problem is, we're not talking about a random dog in the wild, we're talking about a member of the fam, a deeply loved loyal companion, deserving of every chance we can give them at a high quality life.

Anyway....

:horse:

Haha, but Im not mad.
