The Food and Drug Administration usually focuses on health and safety issues related to people. However, it recently issued a Consumer Warning which says, in part: “Bones are unsafe no matter what their size. Giving your dog a bone may make your pet a candidate for a trip to your veterinarian’s office later, possible emergency surgery, or even death.”
So, if you typically give your doggie a bone from dinner or your local butcher, maybe you should reconsider. Instead, the FDA recommends using a chew product made especially for dogs. There are a wide-range of different items that can safely be chewed on by your canine pet, whether you have a small dog or a very large dog!
