Every Dog Needs A Bone

When it comes to loving our pets, we all want the best for them. Providing them with love, attention, plenty of excersize, play time, good variety in diet and of course snacks. There is nothing more satisfying than preparing a delicious Bone in Rib Eye Steak for my husband and seeing the look of pleasure on his face as he bites into his juicy steak. I feel the same way about my dogs. When dog's eat bones, the act of chewing actually releases serotonin, a stimulant. There is nothing that pleases me more than watching my German Shepherds laying on the front porch tearing into a raw bone after a long walk at the dog park…it just doesn’t get much better. We like to give our dog's a snack once a day, and the type of snack we give our dog's are various raw bones. They absolutely love turkey necks, chicken necks, Bison Knuckles, Elk and Bison Rib Bones. Bones are a very important part of nutrition for dogs. When fed responsibly, bones can help with their dental, diet and mental health. Always consult with your local vet before giving bones to your dog's in regards to which bones are safe.

Supervise your pet when feeding raw bones and manage your pack if you have a multi dog household. Bones are high value resource and fights can break out. Never feed cooked chicken bones, or any kind of cooked fowl bones – EVER. They can splinter and perforate your pet’s intestines or stomach and cause severe injuries or death. Raw bones are nutritionally valuable to our dogs. They provide a natural digestible form of calcium, that is a natural balance to high levels of phosphorous found in raw meat. This calcium from raw bones can be up to four times more digestible than most common calcium supplements found in commercial and some raw food. Raw bones play an integral role in dental hygiene for dogs and can make trips to the veterinary dentist unnecessary which in turn reduces risks associated with sedation that is generally given in order to clean teeth. Even more, feeding raw meaty bones actually have a beneficial effect on the dog's digestive tract. It has a scouring effect providing needed roughage in the diet, and provides bulk for healthy fecal motions that stimulate anal gland expression.
