Soup Bones
|

| Never, never cooked. That softens them so they are more likely to splinter and cause severe damage to the dog. Size of born is big concern. bigger, thinker the better. Femur, yeah. Lots of cartilage....end of bones, OK. Fist sign of bone cracking, it goes into the trash, no questions. I'd hesitate with the rest. Roast the bones for awhile and make a great broth, feed the broth to the dogs, discard the bone. |
| Every time I have given my dog (Holly the retriever) a soup bone the next day I regret it, she would end up with loose stools. I would forget about the last experience and think I was giving her a great treat, a bone, and again the same outcome. My friend gave her dog a bone last week and poor dog broke 2 teeth! On the other hand my uncle feeds everything to his dogs and has no problems. Lucky you, enjoy your half of a cow,  I say make soup,peg |
| My dogs are gnawing on marrow bones as we "speak". I use very large ones. And thick. I use a size that is at least 8 inches or so. Smaller what you might call soup bones can get lodged in their throats. Dogs will swallow big bones and they can get caught in their throat. Never ever give small bones. I do boil mine and scoop out alot of the fat. Both my dogs can't tolerate the super high content of fat associated with these bones. I agree...make the broth and throw out the soup bones. They are proably too small for a dog a sheepie size or even a wheaton dog. |

So are we all invited for dinner?  |
