Check out this great bulk dog bone deal to ensure your pet receives only top-of-the-line chews!
Bones are an abundant natural source of glucosamine, collagen and chondroitin – as well as being an excellent source of protein and easily assimilated, natural calcium.
Recreational bones can be safe for dogs, provided you monitor them closely for signs of choking. Large flat bones or long bones containing lots of marrow should be avoided as these could present potential choking hazards.

These long-lasting rawhide rolls are created from rawhide strips rolled and pressed together without bleaches or additives, manufactured in America and featuring Loving Pets’ “Tested in the USA” seal for quality assurance. Great value for aggressive chewers! Top selling natural chew bones among small dogs and puppies alike.
2. Chicken Bones
As part of your high school biology class, you may recall an experiment in which raw bones were bendy while cooked ones splintered, due to Maillard reactions in cooking which harden and harderen the protein in bone cells, making digesting harder than before. Furthermore, cooked bones may break teeth or cause gut perforations or intestinal impaction (undigested bone clogging up your intestinal system).
Chicken bones offer a rich source of glucosamine, collagen and chondroitin as well as easily absorbed calcium and phosphorous for dogs, while also stimulating chewing to combat boredom and help keep teeth and gums clean.
Slow-dried chicken bones provide optimal nutritional retention and eliminate potential pathogens, making them suitable for storage in your freezer or as kibble toppers.
3. Beef Bones
Bone broth recipes often utilize beef bones because of their abundance of meat and connective tissue. When simmered slowly for several hours, collagen found within these bones helps improve skin and fur health, gut healing and boost the immune system.
Beef bones from the femur, tibia and ulna are ideal for crafting flavorful bone broths, packed full of rich marrow that makes chewing challenging but provides essential tendons, ligaments and cartilage for healthy living.
Cooked knuckle bones are another popular option for making soup bones, offering high levels of cartilage and marrow. Unfortunately, these dense bones should not be fed to dogs with dental issues as their high level of cartilage and marrow may cause them to grind their teeth and pose a choking hazard.
4. Duck Bones
Duck heads provide natural dental chews that won’t damage teeth like raw bones do. Plus, they contain calcium phosphate which is necessary for growing pups to build strong bones.
These bones are slow roasted with marrow in the center for long lasting chewing fun. Perfect for large breeds. Bone chewing has many health benefits for dogs including cleaner breath and gum health as well as whiter teeth. Bones also help promote anal gland health by making stool very firm which allows nature to do its work and secrete fluid naturally from their anal gland.
These bones are ideal for creating bone broth. Packed full of glucosamine and chondroitin to aid with stiff joints in older dogs, these bones also boast high amounts of protein content.
5. Turkey Bones
Turkey bones make an excellent treat for small dogs, as well as being ideal for making bone broth. I find this recipe deliciously simple and inexpensive – simply use either heavy bones like necks and gizzards or light bones such as carcasses to create the broth!
Cooked bones from chicken, turkey or pork can splinter and cause injuries to your dog’s mouth, teeth and digestive system. Furthermore, they contain preservatives and unnatural flavors which could further harm their health.
Raw turkey bones provide long-acting natural chews for your pup to enjoy, with their rich marrow providing protein, glucosamine, collagen and chondroitin as well as being full of lysine for easier calcium absorption and being naturally low-fat!
