Raw Dog Bones: Something to Chew About

  

A client of mine recently asked me what type of chew toys are safe, cost effective, and delicious because her dog has been biting important items in her home while she is at work.

In my opinion, one of the best kept chew "toy" secrets out there is at your local grocery store. Raw leg bones can keep your dogs busy for hours and will not make much of a dent in your bank account. For $4.78 for three bones your dog's teeth will be strong and healthy and will also have fresh breath!

Even if your large dog seems more comfortable with small bones do not allow it because it is unsafe for them. In Daisy's case, she snuck a  client's small bone into her mouth and onto her jaw causing me to pay a hefty fee at the vet's office to have the bone removed)so please be careful!
 

Smaller cut marrow bones for small dog breeds are a bargain at $3.00 - $4.00 per package and will provide months of entertainment!

Store the bones in the freezer until they are given to your dog(s) to keep them fresh.

Remember, when bones are fresh they do not have an odor but they are definitely messy. For Daisy and for your dogs please have your dogs chew the bones while on a towel, in a crate, or on the kitchen floor and be sure to clean the areas thoroughly when your dogs are through chewing.

I hope this advice is helpful for those who are looking for a safe, economical way to keep your dogs entertained!

Daisy's Bone Has Been Picked: Part Two

Hello Ladies and Gents, I'm Daisy Lindahl. You know I had a bone to pick last night so now you're going to hear ... the rest of the story...

 

My humans drove me to a place I couldn't wait to get to...the V-E-T-S office...and as soon as my dad found a parking space I couldn't wait to get in that office! My dad's arm was practically pulled out of its socket but I didn't care! My vet had a bone to pick and I was ready for her help! See how serious I am? And speaking of "See", can you see that mean 'ol bone under my nose?

And here I am watching my dad sign my life away write his name on a piece of paper where he had to promise to not blame the vet if anything goes wrong during minor surgery! 

Excuse me, dad? mom? Vet lady? I don't think my problem is minor at all! This is a MAJOR problem! And did I hear the vet say that something could go wrong and that my dad can't blame you fur it? What the dog?

And here's proof that nothing went wrong at all! The vet lady used a crowbar bolt cutters to get the bone off but I didn't feel a thing! In fact, I was sleeping and dreaming about all of my furends the whole time! 

Thank you, vet lady, for making me look less ridiculous in less than 2 hours! Don't I look prettier without a mean 'ol bone glued stuck on my face? It should because it was a $300.00 makeover!

Daisy Has A Bone To Pick!

 I guess Isabella and I have a lot in common because this afternoon I didn't want to look at anyone but I did not have the case of the worry wrinkles. No siree! Instead, I got myself in a bit of a jam and I was so embarrassed! Can you see what is attached to my lower jaw?

 

Couldn't see it? Well, here's a closer look for you to admire gasp at! That's right, folks, I took my marrow bone chewing a little too seriously and it is stuck! I tried to get the darned thing off me but I can't get the bone over my teeths!

If you think I look scared you should see hear my humans now! They are super worried about me and that's why I am seeing my V-E-T in just a few minutes! Wish me luck! 

P.S. Take it from me, don't ever chew on marrow bones without your humans present or you will have a bone to pick!

Wish me luck! Daisy
