yep …he seems ok on beef in small quantity…the first time i gave it him as a pup he went hyper then the next time when he was older and he had more than he should he scratched for a few days but it was meat not on bone….he copes ok with beef bones within limits and we havnt had ear mite probs yet but now his ears are fully furred and the swimming is up am watching for early signs…he only gets beef bones rarely 🙂
