What Bones Can You Feed Your Dog?

Here are some types of bones that are okay to feed your dog:

Edible Bones
chicken, turkey, duck, bird necks without bone marrow (bones that can be chewed up and swallowed)

Recreational Bones
beef, bison femur or hip bones with bone marrow (gnawing bones only)

Dental Bones (like Greenies)

Rawhide Bones
Okay but closely supervise so large chunks are not swallowed

Do not feed your dog these type of bones:

Small Bird Bones
Choking hazard

Cooked Bones or Cut Bones
More likely to splinter

Pork or Rib Bones
These are more likely to splinter splinter

*Always supervise your pet if you give them any type of bone!
 No such thing as a "safe" bone.

*Separate dogs in a multi-dog household.
 Don't want any fights to break out!

*Avoid bones if your dog had any recent dental work.
