Sometimes a bone will pass through a dog in 8 to 12 hours. However, there is no guarantee or set time within which it can happen due to the various factors in play, including size of bone, cooked, raw, size of dog, and more. Important: If your dog has swallowed a bone, call a vet immediately for professional advice.
How long does it take a bone to pass through a dog?
With the majority of softer, smaller-sized bones, your dog should be able to digest a bone within eight to 12 hours of swallowing.
Do bones get digested by dogs?
Just to be clear, yes, dogs can digest some bones. This is not a great feat in the animal kingdom; bears and hyenas consume bones, as do tortoises and vultures. Even rabbits have also been observed to feed on them too. In fact, you can even digest some bones (if you really want to).
What do I do if my dog swallowed a bone?
If your pet has swallowed a cooked bone, or is ill or injured, visit your local vet immediately or your closest Animal Emergency Service hospital.
