Title: bones for puppies
Post by: lola B on August 09, 2012, 08:45:24 AM

Rosie loves her chicken wings but she eats them in 2 minutes and she loves marrow bones but she cant actually eat the bone what bones would be good for a puppy that would take them a while to eat but wouldent be to hard ?

I've seen some people use lambs ribs. I haven't tried these yet but do wonder if they would take a little longer to demolish. I'm sure someone will be on shortly to answer this  ;)

Yep, Bingley loves lamb ribs. Some puppies find lamb a little rich though I believe, and it can cause loose stools. We've never had that problem with it, but others do.

Are you just using the wing tips from NI? If you want to try her on something a bit bigger you could get some full size chicken wings?

Lamb or pork ribs should be fine

It's not a bone, but Luca loves bull's pizzles. And it takes him ages to eat one.

I might try some chicken wings with him, I'm sure he'd love it!

Monty scoffs his chicken wings down in seconds too so I've been bashing them to break the bones then freezing them.  Means he eats it slower and it keeps him cool.
