If you choose to feed bones to your pet, it’s important to supervise them while they chew and to dispose of any small or sharp bone fragments. Bones should be stored in a cool, dry place and should be discarded if they become too old or brittle.
Feeding table scraps to cats and dogs can pose several risks. Some human foods can be toxic to pets, such as chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins. Additionally, feeding pets table scraps can disrupt their balanced diet and potentially lead to nutritional deficiencies. Feeding human food can also cause pets to become overweight or obese, which can lead to health problems such as diabetes and joint issues.

Raw meaty bones, such as chicken wings, turkey necks, and beef marrow bones, are some of the best types of bones for cats and dogs to eat. These bones provide essential nutrients, including calcium and phosphorus, and can help keep your pet’s teeth clean and healthy.
It’s important to never give your pet cooked bones, as these can splinter and cause serious injury or even death. Additionally, avoid giving your pet weight-bearing bones, such as the femur or hip bones of large animals, as these can be too hard and may cause dental fractures or other health issues.
When feeding bones to your pet, it’s important to remember that they should be given in moderation and should not make up a significant portion of their diet. Bones can provide a source of calcium and other minerals, but they should not be relied upon as the sole source of nutrition. Additionally, some pets may have digestive sensitivities to bones or may be prone to dental issues from excessive chewing, so it’s important to monitor your pet’s overall health when incorporating bones into their diet.
