Bones provide essential nutrition for both the bones and teeth of your pet, stimulating their gnawing movement to promote dental and digestive tract health.
Cooked bones often shatter into sharp pieces that can damage the mouth and throat of your pet, as well as become lodged in their intestines or stomach.

Chicken Bones
Chicken bones are an increasingly popular chew treat for dogs, providing protein and glucosamine. Plus, they don’t contain any added chemicals, preservatives, fillers or processed grains – making them ideal for dogs with sensitive stomachs.
Dog bones provide a healthy source of calcium and help promote dental hygiene in dogs. Unfortunately, they’re prone to shattering when handled roughly and could cause injuries if swallowed whole.
Cooked chicken bones contain bone marrow that dogs find irresistible as a snack. Before offering one to your pup, ensure it has completely cooled off first; monitor closely so as to avoid choking hazards; the best bones for dogs tend to be those which break apart into small pieces with chewing – these make great alternatives to antlers or real bones which could otherwise pose risks of choke. Other safe options may include rawhide and trachea chews made of beef that provide plenty of chewable fun without risk; rawhide and trachea chews are made out of beef so far safer options than real bones like antlers or real bones themselves.
Turkey Necks
Turkey necks make an excellent addition to gumbo and other Cajun dishes, offering rich dark meat that has more robust flavors than chicken necks. Bone broth made by simmering turkey necks produces delicious soup or gravies with an intoxicating turkey aroma and taste.

When choosing a bone for your dog, it is essential to choose one that is safe for their size and chewing style.

Furthermore, it is crucial that you closely supervise their gnawing activity to remove it when dryness or size become an issue.
