My son gave our dog pork rib bones. What are the chances this is going to hurt her?

We had a BBQ for my FIL's birthday Sunday. I smoked ribs and grilled chicken. I came home hoping polish off the ribs and there were only 2 ribs left.
There was like half a rack left last night so I asked my son if he ate some for lunch. He did, but he said he gave the dog a couple because he got full. Now, I have always heard you cant feed your dog any cooked bones, but I know that this same dog has eaten an entire rotisserie chicken carcass after the main parts (breast, wings, legs and thighs) had been taken off. Didn't hurt her. But I know these rib bones are much more stout than chicken bones.
Is the vet about to raid my wallet?

None - I don’t think they break into fragments like chicken bones.
We avoid giving our pup chicken bones

What kind of dog? Friends of mine had big dogs that ate leftover baby back ribs all the time. It seems to me that chicken bones would be more apt to splinter into sharp edges that could do internal damage. Please fact check me with a vet first. I am just guessing, if your dog can scarf down chicken bones, pork rib bones won't be nothing.

Ok. Makes me feel better. I. Almost positive this old girl has eaten pork ribs before, but I wasnt sure. I just remember my parents always telling me not to feed the dog bones that have been cooked because they splinter and puncture digestive organs.
Of course thats what Google says too, when I searched it up.

Tell him to try and take it, he will found out how hurt he will be.

Springer Spaniel
She has eaten everything from chocolate to raw rabbit, so I think she will be fine.
I just replayed all the times I was told not to feed any kind of cooked bones to the dog when I was a kid as soon as he told me.

I used to give them to my little Boston Terrier as a treat. He loved them

get rid of the kid and try again.

I miss Yahoo Answers. It used to serve as a containment board for dumb questions like this.

If you can't give a dog a rib bone, then you have a pet. Not a dog.

It’s not something you should do, but if dogs died every time they were able to get ahold of a chicken drumstick or whatever then there’d be no more dogs

My dog ate plenty of pork rib bones in her day, never had an issue. They don't splinter and get sharp.

from what I understand talking to a vet, cooked bones are more likely to shatter into shards than raw bones - personally I wouldn't do it because I'd rather not face the potential vet bills. but it would also depend on whether she's a power chewer or just gnaws on them, my dog could chew on cinder blocks so she only gets uncooked beef bones

Our vet told us 30 years ago that he put his kids through college on money from people who feed their dog table scraps.

Your dog sounds like a tough old bird. Sounds like she will be fine. Give her some love.

Zero.

By now probably slim....
I'm guessing time is on your side if it's been since lunch.
