FAQs
Can I give these beef ribs to a puppy?
No, these are advanced bones and suitable only for dogs aged 12 months and older who have prior experience with intermediate bones.
My dog has only been raw-fed for 2 weeks, can they have these?
No, this product is only suitable for dogs that have been 100% raw-fed for a minimum of 4 weeks. It is also considered an advanced bone, requiring prior exposure to less challenging bones.
How often should I give my dog a beef rib?
These are intended as occasional treats. The frequency will depend on your dog's overall diet, chewing habits, and digestive response. Monitor your dog closely.
Are these bones cooked?
No, it is crucial to always feed bones and chews raw, never cooked. Cooked bones can become brittle and dangerous.
What should I do if my dog eats too much bone?
Too much bone can lead to constipation. Ensure adequate water intake and consider reducing the frequency or size of bone treats. If you are concerned, consult your veterinarian.
Are these treats messy?
These are designed to be mess-free natural raw treats. However, like all raw food, some minor mess can occur. It's recommended to serve them on a suitable surface or mat.
What if my dog is not a strong chewer?
These are advanced bones for strong chewers. If your dog is not a strong or experienced chewer, they may not be suitable. Start with softer, smaller raw treats or intermediate bones.
Troubleshooting
Dog seems hesitant to chew the bone.
This might indicate the bone is too advanced or the dog is not yet ready for this type of chew. Revert to intermediate bones or smaller raw treats and gradually reintroduce.
Dog is trying to swallow large pieces whole.
Immediately remove the bone. This chew is not suitable for your dog's current chewing style. Supervise even more closely and consider alternative, softer treats.
Dog experiences constipation after eating the bone.
Too much bone can lead to constipation. Reduce the frequency or size of bone treats. Ensure adequate water intake for your dog.
Bone appears to be breaking into sharp fragments.
Remove the bone immediately. While some fragmentation is normal, if it becomes excessively sharp or brittle, it may not be suitable. Always supervise and remove small or sharp pieces.
