BONES ARE ESSENTIAL TO ANY
QUALITY RAW FOOD DIET
| |
| Dogs
and cats have different stomach acidity levels (ph) and digestive
enzymes that allow them to break down raw meat and bone matter
with little or no risk of parasitic disease. Their internal anatomies
have changed little over millenia and like the wolf or the leopard
our pets are "designed" to benefit from the nutrients
dervived from raw bones. |

- Avoid
poultry leg bones (the drumstick). They are long, hollow and
brittle and some pets won't chew them up properly. They can
splinter and not be digested properly
|
- Choose
bones that are larger than your pets mouth capacity or 1 to
1 1/2 times the width and girth of the mouth
|
- Supervise
you pet while chewing on bones, but don't hover or they will
try to "wolf" the bone down
|
- Dont
panic if your pet regurgitates a bone. It may be too big or
too small.
|
- Teach
your pet to eat their bones slowly by initially holding them
while they chew
|
- Feed
bones opposite or after the heaviest exercise period
|
- For
puppies, kittens, seniors or beginners choose softer more digestible
bones like backs and necks
|
- Bones
can be messy. Feed them to your pet out of doors, if possible,
or on a washable mat
|
- If
you have more than one pet feed them the bones separately to
avoid squabbles
|
- Exercise
common sense and proper hygiene when handling raw bones
