1. BONES
Dogs owners!! Dog owners… Stop giving your dog bones. Who ever told you dogs like bone?? This dog couldn’t excrete for months and had perineal hernia as a result of continuous straining. They are carnivores. They will always go for anything related to meat. I’m tired of saying this but do a test. Put bone n meat in different plate n see the one your dog will go for. Plus you are the owner you should give your dog what’s good. You can give them something else to exercise their jaw or teeth but never bones. In addition, please don’t give them (your dogs) chicken with the bone in it. Chicken bones splints with sharp edges that can pierce their GIT and cause lots of issues that can be life threatening for them
