Bones Is This Too Big Lol :)

[heroeswit]

Just thought this pic was great (not great quality) do you give your big dogs bones similar to this?

[Genabee]

That is so funny!!!! He looks so happy too!

I can't help you - my little dog is little! That bone would be bigger than she is!

This is my dog with his huge roo bone.....

[Kirty]

Yes, I buy huge bones for my dogs. The butchers always ask if I want them cut up - nup, last longer this way!

I never feed the dogs bones that hard as they can break their teeth on them.

:rolf:

Dieter looks that way when he gets a big stick at the park - he really sees it as a challenge he must conquer - hauling half a tree across the oval

Yep - i give my dogs bones like that! i get them sliced in half (long ways), and give half each. This means i can scoop the marrow out before i give it to them (marrow is really fattening, and my labrador is prone to getting chubby... )

i think it's true they can damage their teeth on them, but i only give them every now and then...

This was our Pups first proper bone..... he hardly knew what to do with it, so fell asleep with it.

Bailey gets bones like that for when we're out at trials & he's home alone

That's so hilarious!

I would LOVE to get Elbie a huge bone because I know he would love it and it would occupy him for hours but I read soooooooooo many conflicting reports about bones for dogs. I'd want to use it to occupy him when we're not home but while some people leave their dog with the bone unattended, others warn of all the terrible things that can happen (splintering/choking blah blah).

Nope, I like my dogs to keep their teeth

Same here, all they do is wear down the dogs teeth.

[Guest DBT]

my dogs get bones every day, but always bones that they can chew up & eat immediately (Raw chicken carcass , lamb ribs etc)

I never give those huge 'all day suckers'

[WreckitWhippet]

It's the meat, sinew and the stripping action that helps keep the teeth clean. Roo tails are a good alternative, it takes time to strip the meat away and they provide a meal.

My Stafford can't digest hard bones. Almost lost her 3 times from bowel blockages on hard bones. The Emergency centre said it's their most common cause of blockages, bones. No more bones here!

Gorgeous pics though.
