I was wondering about bones from things like pork chops, ribs, and t-bones..

Are these okay to give my dog? Can they splinter and cause problems? I believe chicken bones are bad for them right?

I don't know about those kinds of bones, but my dog enjoys the human femurs I give him from my victims.

Is it a pit bull?

If so I hear chocolate bones are great for the cardiovascular system.

Wolves are dogs and they eat whole animals.

As long as it’s not a woman’s dog it should be ok.

Yes.

You're not supposed to give dogs cooked bones.

quote:

Poultry and pork bones, or cooked bones of any kind, are strictly forbidden. They splinter into shards that can cause choking and serious damage to the dog’s mouth, throat, or intestines. Cooking can also remove nutrients from the bone.

Any bone, in fact, once chewed into small pieces, can block the intestines and lead to a nasty bout of constipation, can cause lacerations of the mouth and internal organs, or can lodge in the throat with fatal results.

I’d stay away from giving them pork chop bones

I always fed my dogs all of our leftovers and bones (stopped giving them chicken bones at some point) growing up. They all lived to be at least 12 except for one who was hit by a car

My wife is a vet and people like you are the reason she's probably going to finally make more money than me this year.

I have given my dog rib bones before, but I know for sure it's not good to give them chicken bones,

I swear I've seen you post the same thing but say your wife was a dentist in a straw ban thread talking about people getting cavities

T-bones are fine but I don't give anything else to a dog. I'm sure smaller bones are fine but why take the chance?

Best if soaked in antifreeze first. They love the taste.

Oh so because she’s a woman she can’t be a vet and a dentist?

Wake up. It’s 2019.

Do not give dogs bones. You're just asking for the dog to have intestinal problems
