westiemum Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I usually buy beef soup bones but this morning I saw some really meaty ham bones in the supermarket - almost bought some but then hesitated as I wasn't sure if they were cooked and might splinter? Can someone enlighten me? Do you feed ham bones at all? TIA :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Sibs Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) No, I don't. Wouldn't it still be considered cooked bones? Edited June 19, 2012 by CW EW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andisa Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ham bones are often the reason we see so many pancreatitis cases over Christmas It only took my boy too many raw lamb bones - would never risk feeding many pork bones and not ham bones ..

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Never, no cooked bones and no meat from the pig at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 No, they would be cooked and far too fatty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCheekyMonster Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Never, no cooked bones and no meat from the pig at all. Curious as to why you dont feed pig meat/bones? Edited June 20, 2012 by TheCheekyMonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Pig meat should not be fed raw as pigs and dogs can share parasites and diseases etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swizzlestick Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hell no. Pancreatitis here we come!!! That and the fact I'd be worried about the bone itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCheekyMonster Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Pig meat should not be fed raw as pigs and dogs can share parasites and diseases etc. I have never had a problem with it, our guys love pork bones... im not sure which part of the pig it is, but its a huge bone that the dogs gnaw on all day... and the butcher gives it to me for free...dogs eat weeks old rotted bones that they have dug up... im sure parasites would grow on that as well?

Guest english.ivy Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 My two once had free range pork off cuts. Fat wasn't overly bad and had no ill effects. The bones were mainly joints. Only because I wanted to get them bones and there were only pork avail that day. Ham bone .. no I wouldn't. Wouldn't even give them ham meat, too salty.

westiemum Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks everyone - that's what I thought. So will skip the ham and pork bones and go back to the beef bones! My guys adore bones so apart from beef and marrow bones, what other types of bones do people recommend? TIA :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 We feed turkey legs, chicken legs and frames, shanks and necks and pretty much any other random bone :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
