Most raw bones that have not been cooked are edible for dogs. Raw chicken, turkey, lamb, or beef bones are soft enough to chew, eat, and digest. That said, with all bones, there is a risk of choking if your dog swallows without thoroughly chewing, and bones that are too hard can cause damage to the teeth.
What bones are not safe for dogs?
Don't feed small bones that can be swallowed whole or pose a choking risk, or bones that have been cut, such as a leg bone. Cut bones are more likely to splinter. Don't feed pork bones or rib bones. They're more likely to splinter than other types of bones.
How do I know if a bone is safe for my dog?
Cooked bones are always off-limits to dogs. No matter how large a bone is, it will become brittle after cooking. Never feed your dog cooked bones — whether you cook them or find them in a pet store. In addition to being a choking hazard, cooked bones are rarely prepared with dogs in mind.
Is it bad to give a dog at bone?
Severe cases can be deadly, so it's important to seek veterinary attention right away. Don't give you dog cooked bones of any kind. 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.
