[rawfeeding] Re: Pork, Beef and other soft bones

Hi Jill,

How big is your dog?

Bone-in beef is good for a workout and some dental hygiene, but the
bones are too hard/dense and can be teeth breakers, so you'll want to
remove the bones after they've gotten the meat off and they're
gnawing away (before they crack a tooth or wear them down too
much!). Most pork is probably good, but depends on your dog (maybe
some small dogs won't be able to eat all of the bones?). Ribs in
slabs/spareribs should be pretty easy to find. You might also find
some pork necks--some are not meaty, so you can look for meaty ones
and/or add meat to them. I get the best ones at an Asian market.
You can also look for lamb or goat. Goat is at the Asian markets and
the bones are very edible. Lamb is usually more expensive, but maybe
you can find a good source. Oh, and what about turkey?! All turkey
bones are probably edible for your dog.
