Auggie was three when he got his first raw, and I let him chomp meat off a knuckle bone. Since then I've switched to mostly pork hocks and sometimes letting him chew meat off and lick the marrow out of thin sliced soup bones.
What would you give to a smallish puppy? Say... sheltie puppy sized? Would a pork hock be okay?
I'm still not 100% comfortable with feeding edible bones - Auggie hasn't had any chicken necks or anything like that yet. He has been chomping on a lamb shank and broken off small pieces of the bone on that to eat, but I think that might be too hard for puppy teeth to break. Also the lamb shank would be approximately the size of a sheltie puppy. =P
Any ideas?
