Recent research into the Trauma, Surgery to save the dog,
and LOSS (death) OF THE PET (dog) involving bones is: DON’T
GIVE YOUR DOG BONES FROM LEFT OVER STEAK, PORK CHOPS,
CHICKEN, TURKEY, FISH, ANY OF THEM. I know, I know, my
dogs get them too occasionally??? But usually as RAW,
before they are dried out from cooking……………. Never "cooked"
fish, never ever poultry (chicken, duck, turkey, whatever),
never pork chop, never steak, is my MOTTO!!! But if the
bone is a Femur bone……………. Okay, lets do it this way. If the
bone is a totally LARGE, ROUND, BIG PIECE OF bone, it
chips when they are devouring it, all flat bones, SPLINTER
when devoured, then I am guilty of giving LARGE ROUND BONES
from both hams and roasts.
Large round, Semi Safe. Flat, such as in pork chops and
steaks, DEADLY. Heck, some dogs show no signs of pain
and/or severe trauma to their digestive system for a couple of
days or so. THUS, the owner does not come up with the
cause of what can be a potentially deadly happening in their
dogs digestive system because the signs aren’t apparent
shortly after you GAVE THE DOG A BONE!!!
For this information on Bones you gave your dearly beloved
dog, for all you out there who have always done it without
problems, for all the dogs who WILL die from those undigested
bone fragments, maybe weeks later, please remember, "THE
DOG DIDN’T DESERVE IT." Not the bone tossed to him, not
the pain from undigested bone fragments and certainly not the
resulting death if it comes to that!!!
