Darcy&Zoe Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi everyone I would like to offer my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy (5 months old) some raw bones but unsure which would be suitable for a smaller breed of dog. I am thinking raw chicken necks but unsure what else as I dont want to damage her teeth. She is a very petite CKCS. Can anyone offer advice?

Queen Maeby Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi, your puppy is very cute There's a thread here on Dogzonline that's very recent... http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/258012-which-bones/page__pid__6511090__st__15#entry6511090 And if you do a search on raw feeding, you should come up with heaps of threads. It's a very popular subject :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Maeby Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Sorry, I forgot to say... I used to have a Pug but he recently died from cancer... I used to feed him raw chicken wings and lamb shanks (cut in half) on the weekends. He had a homemade diet during the week. There has been some disagreement as to whether to feed weight-bearing bones, like lamb shanks, but I feel confident that my Pugs would never break the actual bone or even attempt to eat it.

Darcy&Zoe Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Thank you for the info and so sorry for your loss I feed my medium sized dog lamb shanks and havent had a problem but my puppy did have a cracked tooth, suspected from chewing the lamb shank (she did get into the bone, which really surprised me ... I thought she would only eat the meat). I will also try the chicken wings, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Maeby Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 No worries and thank you :) Sorry to hear about your girls' tooth. My Pug had really tiny, stumpy teeth. There's no way he could have eaten the bone :laugh: Pug teeth... Look how small they are! They crack me up! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Crazy Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Darcy&Zoe glad to hear the chic wings were a hit. She is just adorable by the way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I only feed softer bones like wings and necks. I wouldn't feed Susanne as they are weight bearing and the risk is that a tooth will crack. Lambs necks chopped into noisettes are also a great option for small dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
