Can my dog eat the bones found in some of your chews?Updated 2 months ago
While some dogs can consume some bone, it isn't for all dogs. There are always risks associated with feeding dehydrated bone. The larger/thicker the bone, the larger the risk. Factors such as chewing style, jaw strength, and chewing patience, all play a role in whether it's "safe" to feed products that contain bone.
Our chews are dehydrated at a temperature between 140-160 degrees. These temperatures tend to leave the bones brittle enough that a dog can easily chew/crush them up before consumption. Bones themselves are not strictly the concern, but more the possibility for sharp edges to be created when a bone is being chewed and/or broken down. We always recommend that you monitor your dog while they are chewing anything, and always provide fresh, clean water nearby.
