How do cooked bones hurt a dog?

0

talking about cooked poultry bones, which will splinter under a dog’s teeth, get swallowed and can cause all sorts of problems–pierced guts, in fact, as they travel through the dog’s system. Raw poultry bones are rubbery. Your dog shouldn’t have any trouble with a big cooked bone from pork or beef, but NO poultry! We had a minor issue, years ago, when our small dog got a sharp protrusion on a pork chop bone caught between his teeth, but you can get clean bones–leg or shank bones, usually–at pets stores for them, and your home-cooked bones should be fine. The scottie (pork chop bone incident) would gnaw on them for a while, then take them to the backyard sand box to bury them. They’d sit buried under that damp sand and provide nasty surprises occasionally, for those digging in there.
