Would you give your dog

A beef bone from a t-bone steak? If it matters, the steak has already been cooked (rare/medium rare). I know that poultry and pork bones are a no-go because of splintering, but I am getting conflicting answers online about beef bones. It is a pretty large bone with no jagged corners.

No cooked bones. Raw bones only.

Thank you! That's what I was reading, and what I told DH. Next time I will cut the bone out before grilling.

Agreed that no cooked bones should ever be fed. Most other bones, including pork and chicken, are great for dogs as long as they're raw and not too big or too small. They should also be covered in meat.

No. No cooked bones ever.

No. I just hold the bone for them and let them chew the meat off.

This.

Definitely no cooked bones.

I avoid all weight-baring bones so they don't crack their teeth. I have one beagle-basset that his tooth needed to be removed because it was cracked.

I basically stick to poultry bones (uncooked) and some deer ribs/necks. My dogs are fed a raw diet.

But depending on your dog, the leg bones might be too tough and crack teeth.

I was partial to turkey necks when I gave my boys raw bones & meat.
