Dog eating bones

Milk_Tray

I got my 5 month old staff one of those large pork leg bones from Maxi zoo and she absolutely loved it! It kept her busy for 2 hours and she had gone through most of it by gnawing on it and licking it to death! there was little remains left of the bone just a 3" section..is that ok & normal? I took it off her incase but jesus she was all over it for hours! I know its not one of the type of bones she will eat entirely but I think if I had left her at it it would be!

Dogs love a bone, and will work their way through it quite happily - amazing work and dedication and total absorbtion

I wouldnt leave a young dog unsupervised with a bone (NEVER a cooked bone) is she teething? Be careful of her breaking a tooth with very large/hard bones??

You shouldn't give a dog weight bearing bones or cooked bones. Pet shop ham bones are both.

One shop in Kerry sells what they call "postman's leg" bones. Huge and apparently partly cooked. Would never touch them for my dog.

Also small lamb bones that are still soft; wee dog here had a blockage of them once and have avoided them since then. Raw but still ... She loves chicken with bones. Reminds me I must find a friendly butcher here...
