So we are completely switched over to Taste of the Wild today but I am still thinking of the Raw diet. For now though we are staying with Taste of the wild and see how it works out. We went to our Local pet food store that does carry a few Raw choices. The one we thought we could afford is Instinct. But we are seeing how things go with taste of the wild first.
Anyway, They also carry some choices for bones too. They are individual bones. She asked us to give the bone a shot just to see what he thinks(a taste of Raw food without the cost). So we are trying a Bison Femur bone. I have NEVER given bones to my dogs before and truthfully this is scary for me. I waited for my husband to be here with us tonight before we tried it.
Toby at first was unsure of it, he sniffed it, ran away from it and BARKED AT IT! Can you believe it, the second bark we have ever heard from him and its to a bone! He then licked it and nibbled on it then he really started to get into it.
I noticed though that the inside of the bone was coming out in crumbs but the outside stayed intact. Is this supposed to happen? If he eats the inside crumbs will it get stuck inside him? We have since taken it back up and put it in the fridge.
Do you feed your dog this type of bone? Is this safe? The store did not carry any brand bones in the freezers just individual bones.
Thank you for the input. I am nervous to give it back to him. BTW.. He is 13 weeks old now.
