Dogs and bones

Dogs eat dogfood, period.

Hold 'em close...and watch them even more closely.

The only kind of “bones” I give my dogs are the proper size Nylabones. When my English Cocker was young we gave him the “Busy Bones” and other packed meat product made bones sold in stores. A finger joint sized piece lodged in his intestines entrance causing blockage and problems. A bowel surgery and a few thousand dollars later and he recovered without further issues. We learned our lesson and it’s dog food only and small crunchy treats or the Nylabones to satisfy their urge to chew.

So so sorry for your loss.

I lost a setter, Freckles, in the 90’s to a quail beak. We had a long day hunting, and as was my habit, I would toss her and her kennelmate Rambo, hearts and livers while we were cleaning birds. My guest, not understanding what to NOT feed dogs, had thown her some bobwhite heads. I found her dead in the dog trailer when I got home, and the vet did an autopsy and said the sharp beak had cut through somewhere, and she bled out internally. From that day, I dont give dogs anything but dry dog food and water.

Crazy, as dangerous as a bird dogs life is down in this neck of the woods, to lose a dog to that.

Again, i feel your pain, a couple of members lost their pups this weekend.
