"Dear Rebecca,

Somebody told me I shouldn't give my dog bones. Is this true?"

Hi Scott,

It is not necessary to give your dog a bone when there are plenty of alternative treats to consider, such as raw hide chewing toys etc. Your dog may have eaten bones before and have had no problems. Not all bones cause problems, but there are bones, which may split and break into small pieces after which they can become lodged within your dog's intestine or throat. This can then become a serious problem for your dog.

Sharing in your love of animals,

If you have any more questions about your dog,
