RAW ribs? Bones?? I cannot tell you how hubby and I have argued over giving the dogs bones - any kind of (cooked) bones and now you’re saying rib bones? Explain please. One of our dogs has the jaws of a Pit Bull and she could rip a bone in half in seconds.
Bones make me nervous and feeding bones goes against all I’ve ever learned.
A lot of people with dogs like you describe do not grind, but feed whole -- some even feed turkey necks to dogs with extremely strong jaws, though the shape of a turkey neck is such that I would take it outside and wrap in a towel and hit it a few times with a hammer and then feed it..
Rabbit is another popular meat.. there's people out there who have a deal with the local police to call them when there is fresh deer road kill -- especially the people with large dogs who live in areas without wasting disease...
Chewing on these big bones occupy dogs for a long time and they actually sleep better from the exercise this chewing gives them...
