I never knew the difference between edible bones and recreational bones. My 7 small dogs are all pensioners now. My 15 year old granny is almost toothless so she gets a really meaty bone so she doesn't hurt her gums. Thank you for showing all the different choices and I will leave the marrow bones now because I didn't realise they can cause pancreatitis.
I think the main problem with necks if they gulp is that they can be a choking hazard depending on size of dog. I avoid necks for my dogs. Everyone needs to figure out what works best for their dog.
I give my girls a few chicken necks here and there,I have a husky who isn’t a chewer at all so her teeth are not great but with a few of the necks she loves those and takes her time with them,I’ve seen a difference in her teeth already.my husky/cattle dog mix loves them too and she has an appetite but takes them nicely.i ordered turkey necks from the butcher,what do u think about those? Just want something a little bigger as next yr we will have a shep and I’m sure she’ll be gulping treats
I think you need to emphasize that there’s much more nutrition in bones than just calcium. Because then people think they can just throw some egg shells or some calcium powder in instead of bones and they’re covered. And that is absolutely not true. You really cannot substitute raw meaty bones. Or at least Ground up well meaty bones.
If you disclose to your vet that your dog chews on raw bones..they'll note it in your file....then if you go to get pet insurance they'll review all or any conditions & then deny your claim, if your dog ends up breaking a tooth.
Hello! Are you in the States or somewhere else? This most certainly is NOT true here in Australia! Dogs rarely break teeth on bones, more likely on things like Deer Antlers that are far too dense and can cause damage

Turkey necks are fabulous for larger dogs! Low fat, perfect edible bones 😊
I have a 5.5 lb yorkie. Do you think chicken necks are ok?
Absolutely they are perfect!
