Soil Activated Bones

[NorthernStarPits]

Found this interesting, dont know if i could handle doleing out stinky old burried bones all the time, but i'm sure the dogs would love me more for them, more than the regular ones from the fridge

If only i could find myself a big ole Elk to bury, my dogs will be in tiptop condition

"It's annual behavior in dogs, and the reason is biological... Earth bacteria are an aid to the transformation of bone into calcium, and marrow into nourishment - 'splitting things up', so they can utilize fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins, and so on." Dogs don't have these bacteria naturally - earth bacteria are different from those in the canine (or human) intestinal tract. So they get it from a bone which has been buried - the bacteria having transformed the marrow, and the calcium matrix (chelating it, presumably - making it more usable to the body), in the meantime.
