Recreational bones
I wasn't aware of this info and I really research such stuff so I thought others probably don't realize the damage such bones can do. My vet even says the same thing. He is the one that got me onto raw. He knows his stuff. Below quotes from this web page: http://rawfed.com/myths/bones.html Do not feed the big weight-bearing bones of large herbivores. These are well-known for chipping and cracking teeth! These include the ever popular "recreational bones" like cow femurs and soup bones. They are incredibly dense and hard, and can result in slab fractures and cracked carnassial teeth. Avoid them if you can and stick to MEATY bones that are edible. The large weight-bearing bones of herbivores, things like knuckle bones, femurs, etc. These, ironically, are the kinds of bones pet food manufacturers and some vets recommend dogs receive regularly to help keep teeth clean! These bones chip or break teeth and can have pieces of bone flake off. |

| Thanks for sharing your research!! |
| Both of mine get lamb ribs or chicken carcass daily.I occasionally get meaty beef ribs but they are more dense than lamb and can still crack teeth . |
| Yeah I don't feed beef anymore unless it is just the meat now. Pig I do feed; tonight is pig. You mention you give ribs or chicken carcass daily, you don't find their poo gets too hard? Or is just small amounts? Especially chicken, so much bone. I do bone every other day. Seems to work. Love to hear how others go about it if there is different strategies that work.  |
| Mine get a bone meal then a meat or tripe meal.with the tripe i have to add an extra chicken wing or single rib as kenley gets the runs otherwise . I get the chicken carcasses off my local butcher and he leaves plenty of meat plus offal on for me.if the poo gets a bit hard i give a bit of liver or extra tripe. I feed all meats.i get all the pork,lamb and beef off cuts off my butcher .i get rabbit,venison and pheasant off a raw supplier. I think the pooches are better fed than me |
haha I hear ya! Wow lucky being able to get the rabbit and pheasant that is sweet. Yeah always monitoring poos to play with the ratio of meat and bone. When it is like sand you have gone to far  done that at times. |
| My fellow dog walkers think i'm mad having a poo inspection We are pretty lucky in the uk for raw food. I know someone who feeds squirrel which she gets from the local game butcher. If you are on FB there is a good group called raw feeders uk but we have a few people on there from other countries aswell.its good for keeping up to date on new information. |
| I will have to check it out thanks! |
| Just checked its raw feeding uk .still recovering from christmas |
