The best ones to get are rib bones. If you can spare the expense/get them on sale, it is really nice to pick up a whole slab of ribs, then separate them and put them into a freezer bag-- Mmmm.... "beefy-pops!" They are my girls' favorites. Problem is, all the humans get a bit jealous for them.
If an opportunity comes to you in life, say yes first, even if you don't know how to do it.
I think I remember Nettle saying she took puppies straight from mom's milk to raw food. But I could be wrong--or maybe there were steps in between there.
No steps - they were chowing down on mince from three weeks (actually two and a half but this is early) chicken wings and carcases at four weeks and from then on any raw meaty bones were relished. Of course they can't eat whole big bones at that age but they can spend happy hours chewinng off the meat and gnawing at bone ends.
If Emms can help me I can put some pics up later.
A dog is never bad or naughty - it is simply being a dog
Keep pup out of kitchen unsupervised, and do try the bitter apple spray. My boy chewed the crnrs of my new 5 in baseboards(not much tho) I sprayed the bitter apple on them as well as cable wires as he left them alone. It has to be sprayed daily until you know she won't touch anymore .Now some dogs don't mind the taste & will chew the object anyway, but I think they are the exception. It doesn't hurt to try. So get those meaty bones, stuffed KONGS & prevent opportunity as much as possible. This is just her teething stage but chewing wrong things can become a habit, or a plea for attention later on.
wow thanks for the pics they are beutiful pups and has made OH much easier about this raw feeding and now that im on week 2 of raw feeding buddy has so much more energy and is looking really good
thanks all for the help you have been to us and big puppy liks from buddy
Any really - as long as its either for human consumption (so you know its clean) or its been frozen properly for a good long while, then you'll be ok. Stick to non-weight bearing bones where possible, though legbones from poultry dont tend to be weight bearing for very long as poultry for human food doesnt live very long! (a couple of months if that).
