    Just wondering if people with dogs still ask the Butcher for bones for the dog? I have 2 although one has no teeth [11 years old] I ask most times but am given very little, went in today to a butcher and he asked how many dogs i had told him and he gave me 2 neither was the size of a lamb chop. Why are the butcher's so mean with the bones? does anyone else find this?:confused:

    A lot of 'butchers' these days aren't really doing any butchering, they are just selling meat, so don't have large bones going spare.

    Did you know that bones were the reason for the white dog poo?

    If you feed a raw diet the poo is less and whiter

    Only to a degree. The cause is excess calcium, usually from an all raw food diet including bones. A chew bone won't cause it.

    Emily Deschanel chatting to her butcher about her dog, whilst eating a packet of Banshee Bones.

    Is it a butcher's shop or just a meat counter? Any butcher has a mass of bones they'd give you.

    As odyssey06 said a lot of "butchers" now are just unpackaging meat, displaying it and selling it.

    First they came for the socialists...

    By definition, that's not a butcher's :)

    That's a victualler's. Or a meat counter.

    Every Butcher's in the town here would have bones. Only the stall or counter in the supermarket wouldn't.

    You should be given powers to police the abuse of the term!
    In Dublin theres a lot of fake butchers who as you say should be called sth else.

    our Local butcher always gives me bones, shanks, ribs, wings whatever for the pooches but I also get a few every other day when passing for soups, stocks, stews & chili.

    He also sharpens my knives for me at no charge.
