There is a chance that bones can be hazardous for your dog. If swallowed, chicken bones could break, produce a sharp corner, and tear a section of your dog’s gastrointestinal system. Beef bones may be a better option since they do not necessarily break unlike chicken bones, they can, however, be a choking risk if swallowed. The marrow inside bones also has a high-fat content, which is why dogs like chewing and then swallowing them. The fat, however, can increase your dog’s propensity to develop pancreatitis. Eating bones can also possibly injure your dog. A rib bone could get lodged on the roof of his mouth, or perhaps knucklebones might cling around the lower jaw of your dog.
If you really desire to provide bones for your dog to chew on, try one of the commercially available ‘artificial bones’. They are specially made for dogs and are usually manufactured from vegetables or chicken.
Contact your veterinary clinic Farmers Branch, TX immediately if your dog swallows a bone so that they can give you instructions regarding your next steps.
