Raw or cooked (boiled)?

I know that one way they're safe for doggies to chew on.

The other is a total no-no, because they can splinter and puncture the esophagus and intestine.

Which is it?

I assume raw, but am not sure, and my mother just called asking the question so I'm trying to find out for her.

My late golden had a corn and/or chicken allergy. Her skin would get itchy and her fur would get chomped out.

I switched all 3 of mine to California Natural Lamb and Rice. It's about the same price as Science Diet but is much more basic. Her allergies cleared up, and my vets say there's no reason to stop feeding it now to my others.

My friends have switched their pets over to it after seeing how much they like it.

cool! I like the science diet for this reason,

I am able to buy high protien feed for my 2 year old dog but made for "sensitive stomach".

and for my cats,to manage their weight,I can get good protein and low fat for them.

the lamb and rice is good though too.

Yeah, my dogs love those. I've got the Nylabones and GummaBones, but damn aren't they expensive!

Yes they are Humboldt.The things we do for are 4 legged friends.

I have 2 german shepherds.

We have had many shepherds and we have always just fed them the raw bones. We used to boil them but a breeder friend told us it was ok to give them raw ones. We get them from the supermarket, I think they're call beef bones or soup bones. They're about the size of a big fist.

You can also try pigs ears. Dogs love them and they are good for their teeth.
