Make No Bones About It…Why Bones Are Bad for Dogs

Can giving your pet dog a bone hurt him?
(As a pet sitter I strongly recommend that you take heed.)

Everyone knows the line about giving a dog a bone. It keeps them busy, quiets them, it placates them. It makes them happy. And so was born the cliché…

Certainly our dogs’ ancestors relied on bones, as well as the meat of their prey, in order to sustain themselves. They effectively devoured them without second thought, crushing them for proper ingestion. So if it was good enough for them, Rover will certainly benefit too, right?
