DreeOur dogs get a fresh recreational bone about once a week. I give them in the afternoon usually, after they’ve had a run, and they can settle down to a good chew. Mine have some meat on them, and it’s amazing the amount of fun they get out of them!
Is your dog used to bones? If not, I would recommend just giving the bone for about half an hour at first…..wrap it up and stick it in the fridge….next day for another half hour….I would do that for about a week….just to make sure the dog doesn’t go mad and overdo it. (I once gave a knuckle bone to a dog that wasn’t used to it, and she became seriously impacted.) Once a dog is used to bones…..no problem…..you can then leave the dog alone with the bone for as long as you like. And 20p each is a bargain!! ;D
